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). ""
I believe these are what we call nerds.
Increased IQ increased Ugly increased persistent virginity.
A Good Troll is better than a Bad Human.
They really did a study on why nerds and special education students don't get laid?
YOU are not immune to HIV old man. I suggest you keep your act together or you might end up with it. Us kids can teach you old guys stuff too ;)
And this is why I choose to wait and will get a full test done myself and my partner of choice before I sleep with them. Impregnation is bad but I don't want to die because I didn't want to jack off you know? It might not be the nicest thing to go get tested, but it keeps you safe and your partner too.
Some of us would rather be safe and have a lot of sex with 1 person than risk sex with lots of people and the risks it involves. And in this way you can also use more than 1 form of protection (birth control pills and condoms) and lower the risk of pregnancy even more. Not to metion if it does happen you're in a close relationship with said girl and it's not going to be lawyers are dawn, but two people with a kid who can at least remain friends.
And don't act like you can only get HIV in some set way, it can be caught extremely easily from as simple as someone having it and cutting their finger while preparing food to sucking off every man, woman and child on a HIV ward in a hospital. It's not something you can just take lightly and laugh off in this day and age, plenty of kids are doing this and they will end up killing a fuck load of people.
I remember seeing a documentry on how 1 girl got a STD in a night club and within a couple of months pretty much the entire place had got it, it has no symptons (Cymidea I think it was, excuse my spelling I'm not sure of it) and quickly spread because people were being stupid. HIV can have no symptons at least for a while and by which time everyones dead before it's discovered. That type of thing makes me think I'm better iff with my hand than some hot teeny bopper. Although just for the record my girl's 19 and really very attractive, I have no idea why she'd want someone like me, but she does and since we're both happy casual sex isn't exactly the highest point on my list.
I like muppets.
2% risk is still a risk though, I've seen 2% chances pull through plenty of times in the past.
:)
But yes obviously don't use cheap condoms, use decent quality ones. It goes without saying.
I like muppets.
And abortions are 100% effectively murder.
There, fixed that for you. Yes, I went there, had to. Adoption is much more honorable. So many couples who can't have children and want them would gladly care for your "mistake".
We could just give the orphans a really, really late abortion. Hey, its not like that's murder or anything. Abortion and murder have slightly different definitions, so its fine.
