Be sure to read the rest of the article, particularly the part about which majors at which colleges and universities are likely to be virgins!

Lots of people had theories on why such a predisposition might exist, but we think we may have found the answer in a <A href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=10706169&dopt=Abstract">study</A> entitled “<STRONG>Smart Teens Don’t Have Sex (or Kiss Much Either)</STRONG>.” It’s one of those studies that isn’t that surprising on the surface, but the devil’s always in the details, isn’t it? Here are some highlights:</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/7123"><P>• Students with IQs above 100 and below 70 were significantly less likely to have had intercourse than those in between. • Each additional point of IQ increased the odds of virginity by 2.7% for males and 1.7% for females. • It’s not just home runs they’re talking about, either: a higher IQ decreased the likelihood of romantic contact in any sense, from holding hands to kissing, across the board. • For males with IQs between 70-90 only 50.2% were virgin, whereas those with IQs above 110 were 70.3% virgins.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/839EB171-5852-4658-B77B-CB5B3624638D/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
