However, I wouldn't buy a lifetime supply of ice-cream with sampling the flavour first
lolz! Couldn't put it better myself!
For what it's worth, I was interested in finding some statistics about how many ppl don't believe in sex before marriage (I'm guessing not that many), and, of those, how many of those actually make it to getting married before having sex. (guessing not too many either)
Found this:
95% of americans have had premarital sex
Can't seem to find the original source, but basically says that,
- "based on interviews conducted with more than 38,000 people—about 33,000 of them women—in 1982, 1988, 1995 and 2002 for the federal National Survey of Family Growth."
- "According to Finer’s analysis, 99 percent of the respondents had had sex by age 44, and 95 percent had done so before marriage."
-
"Even among a subgroup of those who abstained from sex until at least age 20, four-fifths had had premarital sex by age 44, the study found."
I'm not implying anything by these, just thought they were interesting.
I'm guessing the figures would generally be higher in this country, due to not having as high a proportion of fundmentalist religeous types (I think) or a government-backed abstinance program.
Interestingly, it also says that,
- "The study found women virtually as likely as men to engage in premarital sex, even those born decades ago. Among women born between 1950 and 1978, at least 91 percent had had premarital sex by age 30, he said, while among those born in the 1940s, 88 percent had done so by age 44."
Which suggests that it ain't a new thing!
