serious...corporal punishment and risky sex...risky sex defined as premarital sex w/o condoms. I don't understand why these 2 things would be related.
What's the real risk? Premarital sex or no condom (assuming with an unfamiliar partner). I mean let's be serious....premartial sex is common (always has been, so let's not start the bible-thumping like it's new) and sex w/o a condom....well. It feels good.
I think a better indicator od risky sexual behavior are minors and very young adults, say under the age of 21, who have had SEVERAL partners over a VERY short period of time, engage in sex with these unfamiliar partner w/o condoms, perhaps engaging in sex that could lead to other types of physical harm, eg. gang-bangs or trains, taking drugs and having sex. That's something realy risky...
I know it is all subjective, but c'mon.
