Premarital Sex in America by Mark Regnerus
Drawing upon nationally representative data and hundreds of interviews, this study explores the sexual behavior and relationship formation styles of young adults in America. It uncovers how quickly relationships become sexual, the scripts they follow, how long they last, and numerous stories about sex and relationships in emerging adulthood.
This book is a quick and interesting read that captivates readers with personal stories (which through social scripting we naturally seek out) and empirical data that settle the sexual questions about emerging adulthood.. This book is an eye opener into the realities of emerging adults sexual behaviors. * Dakota Scheu, Journal of Youth and Adolescence *
