		<description><![CDATA[Referencing a Centers for Disease Control report this month that teens and twentys are waiting longer to have sex, New York Times columnist Ross Douthat tackles the subject of premarital sex.
In 2001, the study reported, 22 percent of Americans aged 15 to 24 were still virgins.  By 2008, that number was up to 28 percent.  [...]]]></description>

Fewer teens and young adults are having sex, a government survey shows, and theories abound for why they&#8217;re doing it less.  Experts say this generation may be more cautious than their predecessors, more [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It looks that way.  Stephanie Chen’s CNN article, No Hooking Up, No Sex for Some Co-eds, reports students are choosing to disengage from the often alcohol-fueled hook-up scene that leaves many women with a hangover of the blues even if they manage to avoid getting a sexually transmitted disease.

A two-year National Institute of Mental Health-funded &#8220;randomized trial of several interventions, including abstinence-only&#8221; showed  &#8220;a &#8220;statistically significant benefit&#8221; for the abstinence approach:   it was more effective in delaying sexual initiation.
