Do you believe most homeschoolers are sexually abstinent until marriage?

This is perhaps your dumbest "contribution" to the forum yet, and that is saying something.

And your reason is...

[Willy Woz]

The "yes" arguments certainly make more sense than "no" arguments.

[Willy Woz]

No: they probably SAY they are but actually aren't. It's probably much higher than for the general population though.

In today's world people are actually more likely to lie the other way and claim their unabstinent and actually be abstinent.

not if they're typical homeschool kids. I know what you mean, but I don't think that's really true after high school.

It's actually probably even more true in college. People cast aspersions if your still a virgin at 17; but they do so far more if you're still a virgin at 20. I'm not saying I'm 100% certain the majority are; I'm just saying the arguments in favor (they're very religious and less susceptible to negative peer pressure) make more sense than arguments against. And besides, how many homeschoolers do you know who are un-abstinent?

[Willy Woz]

Christian home schoolers are certainly much more likely than are Christian public schoolers. (Also, 500th post)

You're saying most Christians are homeschooled?

No, I'm saying that Christian homeschoolers are more likely to be abstinent than Christian public schoolers.

[Willy Woz]

Probably not, once the data is adjusted for the religious beliefs of the parents.

Also, from personal experience, I know five 'Christian' homeschoolers, two of whom have had premarital sex, and two 'non-Christian' homeschoolers, one of whom has had sex (the other is asexual).

How old were they when they lost their virginity?

Not to mention that it's not usually a good idea to extrapolate from a sample of "5". Especially not your friends from a liberal university.

I'm not extrapolating my opinion based on those five, just citing them as they are personal examples of what you're talking about.

The two religious home-schoolers lost their virginity at 16 and 17; the non-religious homeschooler lost his at 18.

16 and 17? How could they have lost their virginity when they were still in the house??

[Willy Woz]

Perhaps you're unaware, but home-schooled children are generally permitted to leave the house and go outside.

I still don't see how they could even really get involved in much sexual stuff; unless they were only home schooled part-time.

[Willy Woz]

I understand if you are talking about social isolation... is there any other attribute you make?

Also the fact that they are less susceptible to peer pressure; and with curfews, and all, I can't see them having too many sexual temptations while their parents are still around.

That's going to increase their chance of having sex, not decreasing it.

Hitting the hay is teenagers' natural reaction to mutual attraction.

And you're saying peer pressure is against that? Where do you live, Saudi Arabia??

Actually, nowadays, it is again. As soon as youve had sex youre "sick" or a "slut". Youre absolutely slammed for anything that isnt a 5 year process from holding hands to your first kiss. Its scary as hell.

When did you move to the Middle East?

[Willy Woz]

Yes.  and  Proud of it.

So you consider yourself normal, as an abstinent homeschooler? Makes sense.

What makes sense?

Xahar is just in "bigot mode" again. Tell, me Inks, do you think you're in the majority?

[Willy Woz]

Oh, and, in this study, you can not be both a virgin and have had oral sex

[Willy Woz]

Oh, and, in this study, you can not be both a virgin and have had oral sex

lol, in that case, make it three of the five 'religious' homeschoolers I personally know that have had sex. Also, interestingly enough, the one that lost it at age 16 lost it on a church retreat.

What kind of idiotic church did he go to? Or was he molested?

It was a she, and it was a Southern Baptist Church. I don't remember exactly how it went, but it was done willingly for both parties, in secret, in the middle of the night.

I'm sure that sort of thing happens soooo often. Face it, your friends are not the leadt bit representative of Christian homeschoolers.

No, I'm just saying it's likely that since Inks was homeschooled and is abstinent (I know this from other threads), he would consider this nromal.

Oops, my bad.
