Yes, I have read it, and it is very disturbing to me! It has been on the increase in recent years, and the only positive thing that I can say is that, as the article states, it is still below the national norm.

This is not a new thing. It is as old as marriage itself.

7 Oct, 1898 - At general conference Apostle John W. Taylor reports that in one rural area in Utah, 80 percent of LDS marriages involve pre-marital sex. (Quinn, "The Mormon Hierarchy : Extensions of Power")

God damnit. If only I'd known I was one of the only guys in the church not having sex. So many missed opportunities!

Actually, there weren't that many missed opportunities, if any. I was far too Mormony for most girls. However, if I could have attracted a nice Molly and just stayed out past the Holy Ghost's bedtime, oh, the possibilities!

God does not need to apologize for any smoking gun!

Is this an euphemism?

I wonder if the remaining 42% were like you, not getting any, or were they getting some but just didn't admit it?

Drifting, I think that you are encouraged by the lack of the moderators stopping your immature juvenile posts here, but you are only showing your very obvious childishness!!!

Nah, until earlier this evening I had a quote from Jaybear as my sigline, that went something like "Apologists are fixers who wipe God's fingerprints off the smoking gun." I thought it was a great quote, but I used it for a long time, eventually it's time to move on.
