Check *MY* priors? LMAO, what statistical anaysis have you seen that shows a benefit to the teens having sex? You even think marriage dissolution is good. Incredible, all evidence shows that marriage dissolution is bad for BOTH parties in a marriage. What is better is if bad marriages DON'T happen at all. You have no priors, just degenerate sexual desires to degrade children.

You have of course ignored that most of the people in the study who said that they had sex before age 18 said it was not completely wanted. But of course you did.

So you didn't even read the study you cite 😀

You think that divorce is such an awful thing that everybody should try to be virgins on their wedding days and have no more than 1 sex partner per lifetime?

Okay. Lots of Puritans believe that. They thinks that's an ideal world. They have at various times in history invented and implemented brutal punishments for people violating the one-sex-partner-per-lifetime rule.

Normal humans look at how unbelievably miserable Puritan life is for most people choose to have more natural and much more healthy sex lives. If you want to have 1 or 0 sex partners that is clearly your choice and we'll be happy to accept that, but you trying to impose that idiocy on the rest of us because you think all divorce needs to be stamped out, then... sorry, we're going to fight against that.

Over the last 10-20 years American young adults aged 14-24 have been having less sex than ever. They are dating less than ever. They are also reporting far more depression than ever. They are killing themselves at rates never before seen. There is a massive mental health crisis among these lonely sexless young people. You seem to think this is a good thing. I do not. Our entire approach to raising sons and daughters and the entire way we interact with our young adults is failing them miserably. We created a huge problem. We fucked up really bad. You may believe that they just need to make sure they have no sex until marriage. I disagree. I think that sexual frustration is making everything worse. I think that fear of sex, fear of catching some kind of trauma from sex, is keeping them from living happy lives.

Suicide rates hit their bottom ~2000 before people could carry a social media device in their pocket.

Suicide rates increased between ~1960 - ~1980 the so called free love era before the AIDS crisis and declined between 1980 and 2000.
