There will be a series of these items as the original file was too large

A survey conducted at the University of North Dakota of undergraduate
students had the following results:

Twenty per cent of the females said they "had been physically forced by a
man to have sexual intercourse on a date."

Half of the females indicated they had been touched, held or kissed
against their will.

One in ten women said they had been beaten or otherwise physically abused.

Men were more likely to not believe dating partners who said they did not
want sexual activity.

Women were more likely to engage in sexual activity unwillingly because they
thought it was inappropriate to refuse.

Recent studies at St. Cloud State Unviersity, Kent State University,
University of Rhode Island and a 1957 study at Ohio State University gave
similar results.

A controlled study was done where some suspects were shown "soft-core"
pornographic films and other people were shown "innocuous" films

Those viewing the pornography rated satisfaction with their partners at 3.88
and those viewing the innocuous moview rated their satisfaction at 5.47.
Those viewing pornography rated their partners lower in physical appearance,
sexual behavior and "desire to explore novel sexual practices."

One out of every four men and almost one out of every five women meet most
of their eventual opposite sex relationships at a Singles bar.  There
are 59 million singles across the country.  30 per cent of singles meet
through friends and another 30 per cent through social gatherings or during
work hours.
