Public Virginity Pledges Likely to Fail
(Filed under: Sex)A new survey of virginity pledges shows that those who make a formal public promise are less likely to stick to it. Of the teens surveyed, 17% had made a formal public pledges and 74% made a casual, private commitment. Those private commitments were more likely to wait, showing the importance of a private, personal choice as opposed to the pressure that can come with a formal public choice.
While the article doesn't give a lot of details, it appears from the numbers that 91% of teens have made a commitment, whether public or private, to wait for sex. That's amazing.
