SpiritDragon Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 I found this amusing and wondered what others think of it http://lds.net/blog/buzz/news-buzz/can-mormon-predict-sex-life/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pam Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Hard to say until the actual study findings come out in September. Wingnut 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palerider Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Guess I am not as excited as you.....I look at it as another study with numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrShorty Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 I agree with Pam, I don't think there's much to say until the actual numbers are published. After the study is published, it will be interesting to see: 1) If 6000 people, spread across multiple Christian/other religions, is large enough really draw the kind of conclusions he will claim. If religious affiliation is randomly representative, the LDS sample will likely be smaller than Catholic/Protestant. 2) Will the results also be correlated to some measure of "activity level." I have seen this effect in other studies -- often things are more closely related to activity level than to self-reported affiliation. 3) The usual rate of sexless marriage (10 or fewer sexual encounters per year) across the US is about 20%. If LDS really have a lower incidence, it will be interesting to see just how much lower. Backroads and Wingnut 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pam Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 And to be honest...I don't really care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backroads Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 My one interest in the article would be the opportunity to say "See? Mormons aren't a bunch of fuddy duddies in such matters!" if the difference really is significant. Though I think the tendency towards large families is enough of a clue as it is... talisyn and SpiritDragon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
