DOCTORS’ SEX QUIZ
CHICAGO, May 10. Two psychiatrists have reported that over half the unmarried men questioned in a cross section survey had experienced intimate relations with “nice girls.” Dr. Leslie Hohman, of the Duke Medical School, author of “The Twig is Bent,” and Bertram Schaffner, of the New York State Psychiatric Institute, reported their findings in the American Journal of Sociology. Hohman and Schaffner based their conclusions on interviews with 4600 unmarried ‘i'nen in the cities of New York and Baltimore.
The men were between 21 and 23, and wore inductees. Of them 79.4 per cent admitted they had experienced sex relations, 20.0 said they hadn’t, while 5G in each 100 had had relations with “nice girls.”
A “nice girl” was defined as a girl a man would introduce to his parents and would consider marrying. Psychiatrists found that the more schooling a man had the less likely he was to have had sexual experience.
