Well, my request for references for my paper on the impact of virginity in
adulthood hasn't gone all that well (about 4 responses), so I think that
I'll take another approach and go to an old USENET favorite:  the USENET
poll.  As usual, confidentiality will be assured (especially in this case!).
Just a few simple questions:

==============================================================================
				VIRGINITY POLL

1) What sex are you?

2) How old are you?

3) Are you 
	a) married?
	b) engaged?
	c) not engaged but in a serious relationship?
	d) not in a serious relationship?

4) Have you ever been:
	a) in a serious relationship?
	b) married?

5) Have you ever had sexual intercourse?

6) If you haven't had sexual intercourse, is the reason that you haven't because
	a) you believe that it is wrong outside of marriage.
	b) you believe that it is wrong if two people are not strongly in
		love.
	c) it is too risky (i.e. pregnancy).
	d) you haven't had the opportunity.
	e) other (specify).
	<Check all that apply, preferably with a rating if more than one is
		checked>

7a) If you have had sexual intercourse, how old and in what stage of
	your education were you when you first had sexual intercourse?

 b) What circumstances was it under?
	a) At own or partner's place when parents were gone.
	b) At own or partner's place when parents were there.
	c) At own or partner's place; didn't live with parents.
	d) At a party or other social gathering (specify).
	f) In a car.
	g) In a motel room.
	h) Other (specify).

 c) Was it a positive or negative experience for you?

 d) Was it a positive or negative experience for your partner?

 e) Do you wish that you had started 
	a) earlier?
	b) when you did?
	c) later?
	d) upon marriage?

 f) If you could go back and change the occurrence of your first sexual 
	intercourse, would you have?   Why or why not?

8) Other comments.

9) Do you want me to post a summary to the net?


Thanks.
