Do religious teens exposed to abstinence-only education have more sex and unplanned pregnancies than those with less restrictive parameters? Startling new research says yes, absolutely. The latest issue of the New Yorker presents these findings in a provocative article called "Red Sex, Blue Sex," which explores the relationship between religion, socio-economic status, political affiliation and sex education. While I can’t say I found the results shocking, they certainly gave me pause.

They didn't mention the ladies in the latter study, but have you ever noticed that especially in long-term relationships where the bedroom antics naturally seem to ebb and flow, that sex after a few days of abstinence is always kind of extra awesome?

Have you ever fallen in love with someone's voice? Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (80) | Blog
