Forbidden Fruit

Sex & Religion in the Lives of American Teenagers

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Merging survey analyses with over 250 interviews, Forbidden Fruit tells the definitive story of how religion shapes the sexual values and practices of American teenagers. It reveals that religion affects sexual attitudes more than it motivates sexual behavior, and that adolescent sex remains largely "traditional," with hints of emerging trends.
