Abstinence pledges -- signed commitments that teenagers will not have sex before marriage -- might be less than effective, a recent study says.
And more than half the teens in a recent study said a person should still be considered abstinent after engaging in oral sex.
Those are the results of a Northern Kentucky University survey of nearly 600 teens.
According to the survey, 61 percent of those who had taken abstinence pledges had broken them within a year. Of the 39 percent who said they had not broken their pledges, more than half disclosed they'd engaged in oral sex.
The article goes on to state that teens who sign the abstinance plegdes are also less prepaired for their first sexual encounter and frequently don't use protection.
I guess no one ever told these people that people under 18 can't enter in to a legally binding contract.
