Titillating new studies

Sara Rimensnyder in Reason takes a look at the recent spate of teen sexuality surveys.
This one suggests that teens are particularly randy in the unsupervised after school hours, when parents think they're working algebra problems. It says to parents: "You may think you know her, but that daughter of yours is up to no good." Will creating legions of newly paranoid and distrustful parents curb teen sexor just promote more Villi Fualaau-style adventurism? Inducing paranoia does produce results in one area: Creating larger budgets for sex education. But it's unclear whether those have any effect on behavior either.
