A ‘05 CDC Study reports 47% of U.S. high school students have had sexual intercourse, vs. 54% in ’91. Yet the nation is the world leader in teen pregnancies and STDs. A Child Trends report revealed less than 30% of females and less than 50% of males consistently use condoms, and nearly 20% of females and over 10% of males reported they never do so. Recent AP research finds teens who listen to sexual lyrics start having sex sooner than those who prefer other songs. Among heavy listeners, 51% started having sex within 2 years versus 29% of those who said they listened to little or no sexually degrading music. (Christian Post 8/10/06)
