A new study, entitled “Sex, Love, and Health: Private Choices and Public Policies” and conducted by researchers at the University of Chicago, covers many topics, such as teenaged sex (Catholics are just as likely to have premarital sex as others are), abortion (rich people are more likely to have abortions), STD’s (odds of getting an STD in the span of your lifetime: 1 in 6), and circumcision.
[channeling JDT] Silly … that’s because men who have been circumcised have never known a normal sex life. Therefore they don’t notice increasing sexual dysfunction as they grow older, and are unlikely to complain about it.
That’s if they survive, of course. Most men who have undergone this horrific act of mutilation kill themselves from shame long before they have time to grow older. [/channeling JDT]
I question this study. You could choose any two random human characteristics and determine that there is a statistical correlation between them without their being a causal linkage.
