Maybe you're reading better newspapers than I, but when this hit the wires two weeks ago, the ones I was reading definitely missed the point that the control group was equally religious and the study was looking at two groups, both of which were less sexually active than the average teen. I got the false impression that the study showed that pledging teens had sex at the same rate as
all non-pledging teens. That's a much more salacious story, and that's the impression I got from the headlines I saw.
