Cosmopolitan — “Why They’re Still Virgins”
Rebecca Plante, associate professor of sociology
Cosmopolitan interviewed seven college age women about why they remain virgins. Rebecca Plante, who has studied the sexual habits of college students, commented on why these women choose to wait. “People tend to assume that these women are waiting for religious or moral reasons or they’re prudes or they have sexual hang-ups,” said Plante. “But often, it’s that they haven’t met the right guy. They want their first time to be special, plus they’re worried about STDs and pregnancy, so they want to be with someone they trust.”
