Attention culturekitcheners : We need you at the forums!

We have a lot of activity happening in the forums! We need you there so you can not only read what's going on there and participate but also vote to the front page your favorite posts.

Yes people. You have the power. Use it.

Where ever you see a post with a star rating system at the bottom, that system is there for you to use to recommend posts to the front page. Any post with 20 votes and an average of 8 stars will be promoted by the editors after a quick editorial review.

What does this mean to you?

(1) Invite your friends to become registered users of culturekitchen. Only registered users can vote to promote posts to the front page.

(2) Keep a mailing list of your hommies and use the "send to a friend" link at the bottom of posts to invite them to vote for your post.

Too shy to get to the front page but craving for attention? The have your friends comment on your entries. That will at least get you to the Live Discssions side bar. The more active a thread is, the higher on the bar your post will stay, now matter how long the thread stays open.

Words to live by

Data 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.
