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:

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?
