Sex Talk

I found the articles very interesting. Especially where they discuss how american teens and people in their twenties are waiting longer to have sex. I would have never believe that. It's still kind of hard to believe it but in a way it makes sense. I remember reading an article by Erica Jong titled Is Sex Passe? In the article she talks about how women these days are leaning more towards the motherhood and monogamy of the 50s. This relates to the article we read this week when they also discuss this idea. I think it's just hard to believe that teens and young adults are waiting longer because younger generations seem so much more "open" to everything. The way they act and dress(especially for girls) are just atrocious which for me I just connected to them being so much more promiscuous.
The fact that high promiscuity can lead to depression was also interesting. I'd never heard of that before. Although there isn't a lot of evidence backing this up, seeing as how they can't really do experiments, there could still be different reasons for this occurring. They say that as the number of partners rose depression rose but it was also paired with the stability of their sex life and how it was diminishing. The last bit makes this more of a plausible correlation. I think the depression is more correlated to the lack of stability there is then the number of partners there are. Especially for women, they want the feeling of being protected. And in a biological sense they want a man to raise their children and provide safety for her and her children. Without stability in this area of a woman's life it's easy to see how she might not be as happy as a woman with a single partner.
