Mormons and Sex: How do you compare?
This table is from, The Teaching of Nonmarital Sexual Abstinence and Members' Sexual Attitudes and Behaviors: The Case of Latter-Day Saints, Thomas B. Holman; John R. Harding, Review of Religious Research, Vol. 38, No. 1. (Sep., 1996), pp. 51-60. I believe the survey data come from 1987:
Code:
Con. Mod Lib No
LDS Cath Jew Prot Prot Prot Rel
Mean Frequency of 7.43 6.64 5.66 7.72 6.70 5.93 8.58
Having Sex in the
Last Month
Mean Frequency of 1.74 1.66 1.68 1.68 1.60 1.57 1.83
Sex Disagreement
in the Last Year
% Not having any 12.7 13.9 18.5 12.7 15.3 20.6 11.3
Sex in Last Month
% Having Sex More 8.2 7.8 2.4 12.5 7.7 6.7 14.7
than 16 Times in the
Last Month
So how do you stack up?
Do you think these numbers would look significantly different if the survey was redone since the survey data are almost 20 years old?
