Sexual behavior was surveyed in 1991 for the fourth time in 17 years at a northeastern college with 98 male and 148 female participants. Variables included virginity, religiosity, relationship to parents, relationship to last sex partner, sex philosophy, attractiveness, drug use, contraceptives used, fear of AIDS and effect of this fear on behavior. Results indicated a 91% nonvirginity rate for men, 76% for women. Both genders initiated sex at the same age. Men exhibited a more liberal sexual philosophy. Neither gender had a sexual double standard. Women's attractiveness, but not men's, related to nonvirginity. Relationship with parents was not associated with virginity, but religiosity was. Drug use was related to nonvirginity. Frequent drug users had less commitment to last sex partner than did infrequent users. Nondisease-protective contraceptive methods decreased. Despite fear of AIDS, only one-third of the students practiced "safe sex" consistently, and men were less concerned with practicing it than women. Commitment has not increased since the 1986 survey.
1991年，在一所位于东北部的大学对性行为进行了调查，这是17年里的第四次调查，共有98名男性和148名女性参与。变量包括童贞状况、宗教信仰、与父母的关系、与上一任性伴侣的关系、性观念、吸引力、吸毒情况、使用的避孕措施、对艾滋病的恐惧以及这种恐惧对行为的影响。结果显示，男性的非处男率为91%，女性为76%。两性开始性行为的年龄相同。男性表现出更开放的性观念。两性都不存在性双重标准。女性的吸引力与非处女状况有关，而男性则不然。与父母的关系与童贞状况无关，但宗教信仰有关。吸毒与非处女状况有关。频繁吸毒者对上一任性伴侣的忠诚度低于不常吸毒者。非疾病防护性避孕方法减少。尽管担心感染艾滋病，但只有三分之一的学生始终坚持“安全性行为”，而且男性比女性对其关注度更低。自1986年调查以来，忠诚度并未提高。
