Girls who are close to mothers wait longer to have sex, study finds

I can't say I'm surprised by that. And in the real "dog bites man" department, if their mothers strongly disapprove they'll be less likely to have premarital sex. And boys don't listen to their mothers about it at all.

Of course, this is one of those surveys when they just ask a girl if she's had sex. And wouldn't one whose mother disapproved, or one close to her mother, be more likely to lie about that? I'm just saying.
