"Premarital Sex in America: How Young Americans Meet, Mate, and
Think about Marriage provides a fascinating and highly readable
glimpse into the complicated sex lives of heterosexual young adults
in the contemporary United States... Sociologists Mark Regnerus and
Jeremy Uecker provide one of the most detailed and
thought-provoking analyses to date of the ways that single men and
women ages 18-23 pursue and negotiate sexual relationships..."
--American Journal of Sociology
"A fascinating book." --Austin American Statesman
"Regnerus and Uecker have not set out to construct a new sexual
ethics, and anyone who does so in public tends to take a beating.
But this book, which offers a wide-ranging guide to where we are
now, could occasion some thinking about where we want to be." --The
New Republic
"Mark Regnerus and Jeremy Uecker's Premarital Sex in America: How
Young Americans Meet, Mate, and Think About Marrying draws from
statistical analysis of several surveys and qualitative
interviews." --Contemporary Sociology
"The book... studies a fairly narrow age range (18-23 years)...
however, this age group has fascinated scholars and the public due
to their ever-changing mindset and behaviors regarding sex. Thus,
the book is geared toward those interested in understanding the
complex topic of sexuality among those at the beginning of young
adulthood. While many Mormon youth often abstain from premarital
sexual activity, Premarital Sex in America offers an inside
look
into the large culture that LDS youth will encounter. With this
scope and complex topic in mind, the authors have certainly
succeeded in providing a well-documented look at the sexual lives
of young adults."
--BYU Studies Quarterly
