Still hiding
The 2008 National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health revealed only one per cent of Americans aged 18 to 23 hook up with a new sexual partner each month, and less than 20 per cent have more than two hook ups per year. It's not waiting until marriage, but it's not Jersey Shore, either.
So, why are we so eager to believe otherwise? Richters attributes it partly to intergenerational envy: "Some people who were part of the push for sexual liberation are taken aback when they realise their children don't think sex is wrong or dangerous."
As Eddie, 25, puts it, quoting The Simpsons: "As usual, the playground has the facts right, but has missed the point entirely." Talk to people in their late teens or early 20s and it's likely they'll say there are huge variations in experiences - within their age group, in friendship groups and even individual sexual histories. Hooking up with someone this weekend doesn't mean you'll be doing it again next weekend, or even next year.
So whose lying here the study saying less that 1% get puzzy weekly?
