Young women lead the way in tearing down sex taboos: new US survey
Oct 04 2:09 AM US/Eastern

Young women are leading the way in tearing down sexual taboos in North
America, where teenagers are having more sex at a younger age than
their parents and grandparents, a new survey showed.

Freewheeling young women in the United States and Canada first have
intercourse at the age of 15, partake more in oral sex than previous
generations and are far less prudish, according to a landmark new
report by researchers at California's San Diego State University.

Between 1943 and 1999, the age of first intercourse dropped to 15 from
19 for females, while the percentage of sexually active young women
rose to 47 percent from just 13 percent in 1943, according to the study
that appears in the most recent issue of the Review of General
Psychology.

"Feelings of sexual guilt plummeted, especially among young women.
Attitudes toward premarital sex became dramatically more liberal over
the same period," the analysis of 530 studies spanning five decades and
involving more than a quarter of a million young people said.

Over the same 56-year period, approval of premarital sex increased from
12 percent to 73 percent among young women, while the figure rose from
40 percent to 79 percent among young men, according to the study.

"The change in young women's beliefs about premarital sex was
enormous," said Jean Twenge, a psychology professor at San Diego State
University who co-authored the report with Brooke Wells of City
University of New York.

"Cultural influence was so much stronger for women than men, and that
was true across behaviors. The attitudes that parents have is also an
influence," Twenge said about the report that tracked "Baby Boomers,"
"Generation X" and the current generation of young people, whom Twenge
calls "Generation Me".

The study revealed that the massive cultural revolution that swept
North America in the past 30 years had contributed dramatically to the
shift as movies and television shows tacked formerly taboo topics such
as teenage pregnancy, abortion, sexually transmitted diseases and rape.

"This shift to more liberal sexual attitudes and behaviors, commonly
deemed the 'sexual revolution', has dramatically altered American
culture, especially for women," the report said.

The Baby Boomers of the 1950s and 1960s began having sex for the first
time in college, while youngster of today are having sex for the first
time in high school. "There's been a major shift there," Tweng said.

But, while their baby-boomer ancestors were having less sex with more
people, young people now, faced with an AIDS epidemic, have more sex
with fewer partners, the report indicated.

The sexual revolution has meant that sexual practices that were
frequently reviled by earlier generations -- especially oral sex --
were becoming far more acceptable and widespread.

The percentage of teenagers and young adults having oral sex increased
from 48 percent in 1969 to 72 percent in 1993 among young men, and from
42 percent in 1969 to 71 percent in 1993 among young women, the report
said.

"Oral sex has become so popular. In previous generations, oral sex was
considered disgusting. Now young people see it as another way of being
sexual," Twenge said.

"It's also part of the general trend of sexual behavior moving away
from marriage and reproduction and toward pleasure."

I wonder how they feel about fooling around with a

Face it Nat, it happens sooner than later these days.

But, I'm sure SHE knows that already.

My philosophy (for ME, anyway) was that if you really LOVE someone, what's
the difference? Although I was having oral sex and 14, I saved the Big one
until I was 18 and had been going out with the girl for over 2 years.

I never had a one-nighter.

Problem is, any sense of love or responsibility has been removed from the
equation, and a lot of it either comes down to peer pressure or just
wanting to get your rocks off.

And a lot has to do with TV, Movies and Music...

Oh please - have you *seen* my daughter? I don't expect her to wait for
'the' guy, like I did (I figured if I didn't find him, I'd be the weird lady
with all the cats)

Oh, don't get me started - the internet is a factor, but kids know *way*
more than we did at that age[color=blue]

I was 27, and didn't have *any* type of sex until I felt completely
comfortable (No nagging voice in my head saying, 'probably not the one')
But I realize I'm a mutant; having one lover my whole life is as rare as
bipartisan political rallies[color=blue]

Unfortunately, that's actually been the case since the dawn of man, but the
difference is that there are no longer very many morals to govern those
urges.[color=blue]

More to do with those *making* the TV, movies, music; - 'love children' are
a trend that started with celebrities, and we can never go back. To them, a
marriage license is 'just a piece of paper' - if that's what you *really*
believe, then I pity you, but I also understand why a person who believes
that wouldn't see marriage as a necessity. For my husband and me, the
license was a means to commit our hearts and souls not only to each other,
but to God. But, I suppose you'd disregard all that, and go for your base
instincts, if you don't believe in a spiritual component.

Actually, though - there are other benefits of marriage; if one of you dies,
the other is left with squat, unless you have a palimony agreement, and
really, if you're going to do that, why not just get the usual 'piece of
paper'?

*sigh*
