Most US teens want to be virgins

Most U.S. teens want to be virgins when they marry | LifeSiteNews.com: A poll conducted with youth aged 13-18 in late 2010 found a majority of young people in the US - 61 percent - would like to be virgins when they get married. Additionally, 63 percent said that, presuming they had lost their virginity, they would change the past if possible and regain it.

The survey was conducted from August through October 2010 by Drs. Rene Paulson and Jacquelyn Pennings under the auspices of the Christian youth research and outreach organization OneHope as part of their Spiritual State of the World’s Children study. 5,108 teens between the ages of 13 and 18 in the United States were recruited to take the online survey through a panelist company and through social networking websites.

A press release from OneHope announcing the release of the study today said the results of the survey were “surprising” given the high teen exposure to sexually explicit media content.
