A majority of U.S. 13- to 15-year-olds want to be virgins when they get married, according to a new study; but more than a third of those teens think premarital sex is OK. The results, researchers say, seem to contradict each other. “My reading is, ‘Being a virgin until marriage is right for me, but it may not be right for everyone,'” said Chad Causey of the Florida-based Christian organization OneHope, which conducted the study. “It’s the categorical rightness that has gone.” Causey may be onto something: 65 percent of youth said truth is relative, according to the study. Researchers also found that a fifth of respondents had experimented with “sexual touching,” and 15 percent already had sex. (The Kansas City Star)
