Words to live byData from the 2002 survey indicate that by age 20, 77% of respondents had had sex, 75% had had premarital sex, and 12% had married; by age 44, 95% of respondents (94% of women, 96% of men, and 97% of those who had ever had sex) had had premarital sex. Even among those who abstained until at least age 20, 81% had had premarital sex by age 44. Among cohorts of women turning 15 between 1964 and 1993, at least 91% had had premarital sex by age 30. Among those turning 15 between 1954 and 1963, 82% had had premarital sex by age 30, and 88% had done so by age 44. Conclusions. Almost all Americans have sex before marrying. These findings argue for education and interventions that provide the skills and information people need to protect themselves from unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases once they become sexually active, regardless of marital status.

UPDATE since first writing
What's going on in the world of Broad Band in Asia?
For example Hong Kong: 2.2 million residences (homes) in 422 square miles.
Add to that additional business locations.
All within hookup range to a fiber optic network.
In addition to basic 10 and 100 Mbit/s services, The Hong Kong Broadband Network is also rolling out 1 Gbit Ethernet to anyone who wants to pay for the premium services.
For example IPTV with 50 plus channels, nearly half of which are interactive at $16US and capacity to expand to 200 channels why would anyone want cable?
As we all argue about the re-write of the telecom bill in congress, tiered and pay as you go Internet services, and the vast part of our rural communities are limping along on stone age dial up speeds, the rest of the world has left us in the dust.
