Hi Cecil, Please stop beating up on Selma. She was probably comparing the above statistics in Goa to similar ones in her own youth. I cannot comment on extra-marital sex, as very few of my friends are married and also because adults are more discreet about these matters than youngsters. However having lived in a couple of big cities in India and abroad, I must say that the pre-marital sex is much rarer in Goa than some of our big cities in the rest of India, Mumbai or Bangalore (even Jaipur!) for instance. To compare it to London or Europe would be a wishful thinking(for Goan youngsters atleast!). There are no published statstics to back up my above statements but they are based on the statistics of un-married European/Indian/Goan friends of mine as well as my own astute observations in this matter :)). These are in no way conclusive but are quite credible.
