Michael- Forgive my spekticism (also likely a capitalist trend lately!). What is the evidence that abstinence works in other cultures? One way some cultures deal with such problems is to simply and officially deny they exist (not to mention stoning folk who are the victims- usually women)- for example, starvation and cholera and have (in)famously and officially been denied and under reported in areas where they are indeed present. I'm not doubting you but asking for where I can find the data (given my lack of cross-cultural dudeness). :) Tim _______________________________ Timothy O.
