According to a recent study by the Guttmacher Institute, 95% of Americans end up having sex prior to marriage, partly because of current tendencies to put off marriage until later and later in life.
What are the implications of this study as well as of other studies that show, for example, that young people who dedicate themselves for abstinence do put off intercourse until later but do not refrain from other sexual activities, and then end up having unprotected sex when they finally give in?
Your thoughts and reflections, please.
