Slashdot Mirror
Smarter Teens Have Less Sex
Tech.Luver writes "Gene Expression reports,
"Tyler Cowen quotes from a new study testing the relationship between grades and delayed sexual activity.
Last December I passed a paper along to Razib showing that high-school age adolescents with higher IQs and extremely low IQs were less likely to have had first intercourse than those with average to below average intelligence. (i.e. for males with IQs under 70, 63.3% were still virgins, for those with IQs between 70-90 only 50.2% were virgin, 58.6% were virgins with IQs between 90-110, and 70.3% with IQs over 110 were virgins)
In fact, a more detailed study from 2000 is devoted strictly to this topic, and finds the same thing: Smart Teens Don't Have Sex (or Kiss Much Either). ""
Well, then I must have been ultrasmart... :(
I've got a girlfriend in Brazil. She's a model and I can go down and have sex with her whenever I want.
Since slashdotters have typically IQ in the range of 160 to 220, the will remain virgins till age 72 or so by my extrapolation.
sed -e 's/Chuck Norris/Rajnikant/g' joke > fact
I know this is Slashdot, so the majority of users have not had sex. But if you think this article is implying that means you're smart.. you have just committed a common logical fallacy. Sorry to burst your bubble.
That explains the mouth-breathing 14 year olds pushing their babies in strollers and carrying another in their belly I see lumbering around downtown Winnipeg at lunch. They should coat welfare cheques with birth control hormones.
Trolling is a art,
I should be a super genius.
You gotta love how far-removed this quotation gets:

I'm worried that if I tell someone that I read about this on slashdot, the universe might implode.
Apology to Ubuntu forum.

Life is like a web application. Sometime you need cookies just to get by.
You need to add the qualification: "... with another person."
I was taught to respect my elders. The trouble is, it's getting harder and harder to find some.
I doubt it's less chance for sex. More that there's a lot else to do that's more fun. Like, writing a beautiful piece of code, surely beats wasting a night on hot sex.
I'll go cry now.
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
Seriously, even among Slashdot readers, I doubt many of you guys would marry someone smarter than you.
Of course not, but mostly because it's really hard to find someone smarter than me.
Give me Classic Slashdot or give me death!
Even more important.. Why the foot is smashing Einstein's head?
yeah, great idea, have it with as many people as possible. it sounds like STD Pokemon. "Gotta catch them all"
"... with another living person."
;p
There, just to be sure. There are a lot of strange people surfin' round on the intarweb
Thanks for debunking the rationale that gets me though the day.
Can't you people let me have anything ...
Given the poor spelling, random capitalization, and generally dreadful grammar, I can draw only one conclusion: You must have gotten tons of action in high school.
