This is why i got a college degree in 4 years.....
This story is courtesy of the slate health desk. And perhaps had I been even looser - maybe I would have stuck around high school! The one question I have is how this study compares males vs. females....but still, this story cracks me up. This is so my kinda research.
A study suggests the earlier you lose your virginity, the less likely you are to become a delinquent. Old finding: Kids who have early sex become delinquents. New findings: 1) When you eliminate genetic differences by comparing twins, those who have sex earlier don't become more delinquent. 2) Compared to fraternal twins, identical twins lose their virginity at relatively similar ages, which implies that the age at which you lose your virginity is genetically influenced. 3) In fact, "adolescents who had sex at younger ages were less likely to end up delinquent than those who lost their virginity later."
Researchers' conclusions: 1) Early sex and delinquency share a genetic basis, probably in propensity to take risks. 2) For teens with risk-taking genes, "sexual relationships may offer an alternative to trouble."
Old advice: Pet your dog, not your date. New advice: Pop a cherry, not a cap.
