Americans are not virgins on wedding day

According to a study by Guttmacher Institute, almost all Americans have had sex before they get married. This is true not just for Gen-X or Gen-Y or even baby boomers; it is actually the case for even much older Americans.

So why do we make such a big deal about virginity pledges and abstinence-only sex education? It seems that Americans live two lives: one for the world (in which they claim to believe in virginity, devotion to Jesus Christ, homophobia, etc.) and one for themselves (full of divorce, gay sex, etc.).

It will be nice that we just did not have to juggle the two!
