Data from the National Survey of Family Growth indicate that in 2002, 77% of Americans had sex by age 20, and of that percent, 75% had premarital sex. In comparison, of women who turned 15 between 1964 and 1993, approximately 91% had premarital sex by age 30.
 
It’s none of my business who has premarital sex. I promote chastity as it is freeing not repressive. And we must promote this. But I will not judge anyone on what they have done in their past, it is no business of mine.

We must stop subjugating people who had premarital sex from those who were virgins. Both are equally loved by God. We are not products of our past.

I would not care if someone had sex in the past because what matters is where they are now, not before. People change.

Let’s make this real numbers.

15 years ago a study said that 75% of those surveyed had sex by age 20. For every 100 of the people who had sex by age 20, just under 58 of them had premarital sex.

Another study of women only who were born in a specific range of dates, 91 out of 100 had premarital sex by age 30.

This seems to compare apples to snowshoes.

What is your question?
 
People have sex before they are married. In other news the sky is blue.
I’m actually shocked by the 75 percent of the 77 percent. Thats a lot of people who marry before 20 and dont have premarital sex before vows… Perhaps the elderly and liars make up for such a large amount of people. My wife and I married when she was 19 but there was years of premarital sex before that…
 
Why do we care? We know people are confused, people don’t always do what God wants, people are sinners, and young people have hormones running amok in a permissive culture.

Is there a question here?
 
I think the OP has just a general lament rather than a question. But now I have wasted my time reading this whole thing hoping for a follow up question in one of the comments.

So disappointing 😦

Why are we human beings so obsessed with sex? Look at human history and you will see what I am talking about.
