> [@](#): > > …adolescents living with both biological parents reported a later median age at first intercourse (17.6) than adolescents living in any other family situation (16.2-16.6). Not a huge difference there. I was expecting a larger gap. I wonder though, if kids in one group or the other are more prone to lying about what age they first had sex. ---

> [@Shodan](#): > > No, that wasn’t the claim. You said [The vast majority of single-parent households are a single mother with her child(ren).](http://www.singleparentcenter.net/single-parent-statistics.html) Children who are raised in single-parent households - not 2-parent families, as you alleged - are twice as likely to have illegitimate children. Therefore, your observation is wrong. > > Would you like to try to shift the goal posts to something else? Suppose we define “promiscuous” based on age at first intercourse. As has already been pointed out to you, “having illegitimate children” does not equal “being promiscuous”. I never said jack shit about children in 2-parent households having more illegitimate children. I said, in my experience (since **brazil** was arguing from his “observations”), teen girls from 2-parent families with a religious upbringing slept around more (with me and my friends, anyway) in high school. The fact that we didn’t have illegitimate children had to do with proper sex education and use of birth control. Who’s moving goalposts, again? You have literally proven nothing I said to be false. ---

Yeah, but that’s only because they wanted you to lead them into subordination and then eat all their spaghetti … if I’m understanding the Bible correctly, that is. ---

> [@Rand\_Rover](#): > > The type of folks I’m talking to typically don’t make actual arguments for any position. But at least one has implied that it’s abuse, and others have said that it just shouldn’t be done, which is tantamount to saying it should be illegal. So, let’s recap. In an effort to demonstrate that liberals want to outlaw things they don’t agree with, **Rand Rover** a conservative, has demonstrated an inability to distinguish between “I don’t think people should do that,” and “I don’t think people should be allowed to do that.” I don’t think I’ve ever seen an argument annihilate itself as completely as that. ---
