A recent survey on Premarital Sex in America: How Young Americans Meet, Mate, and Think About Marriage exploded these popular myths:
long-term exclusivity is a fiction.
the introduction of sex is necessary in order to sustain a fledging or struggling relationship.
the sexual double standard is inherently wrong and must be resisted by any means.
boys will be boys. That is, men can’t be expected to abide by the sexual terms that women may wish to set.
porn won’t affect your relationships.
everyone else is having more fun than you are.
sex need not mean anything.
marriage can always wait.
moving in together is definitely a step toward marriage.
It seems like the Bible’s guidelines for sex in marriage are not so old fashioned after all.
