Researchers Map the Sexual Network of an Entire High School
COLUMBUS, Ohio – For the first time, sociologists have mapped the romantic and sexual relationships of an entire high school over 18 months, providing evidence that these adolescent networks may be structured differently than researchers previously thought.
The results showed that, unlike many adult networks, there was no core group of very sexually active people at the high school. There were not many students who had many partners and who provided links to the rest of the community.
I have to wonder about the data, simply because of the self-reporting with no way to verify anything. It is, however, an interesting picture.
