At least nine out of 10 Americans, men and women alike, have had premarital sex, says a new report. And premarital sex isn’t new — the high rates include the sexual habits of women born in the 1940s, challenging the idea that sexual behaviors used to be more restrained.Sex has apparently become something of a young American habit. “It’s hard to stop the evolution of that urge,” said Judy Kuriansky, a sex therapist, media personality and adjunct professor of psychology at Columbia University Teachers College in New York.The report, published by the private Guttmacher Institute in New York, challenges the thinking behind government-funded programs that rely primarily on abstinence-only teachings. The study, released Tuesday, appears in the new issue of Public Health Reports.
So to summarize, everyone is having premarital sex. All the Christians are having premarital sex too — even those subjected to purity balls and purity rings. In fact, it matters not at all what race, sex or religion the persons hold, they are all having every sort of sex and the only reason they are not having babies all over the place is that, in spite of the US government and abstinence education, more and more of them have figured out contraception.
Oh ya, and 5% of Americans apparently lie on anonymous surveys about having sex…

Saay… didn’t women born in the 1940s come of age in the “Summer of Love” and the surrounding era? It really caught on with the Destructive Generation, and it’s been bumping around in pop culture ever after. Still, the claim that “everybody’s doing it” is more an inept defense for the erosion of standards than an axiom for the ages.
And where else would this report bounce up but at Columbia University, that captured citadel for the ’60s revolutionaries who’ve never since grown up. (Did Kuriansky even poll outside New York City?) Okay, maybe something like it emanated at Berkeley…
