as a healthy, socially active 23 year old living in the big city, i can say with some degree of authority that those high school kids in the article are the exception rather than the rule.

maybe the indie community is a little more prudish that the abercrombie crowd, but my friends and i really don't discuss sex all that much. sure there's the inevitable inter-group crushes and all that, but it never leads anywhere because our cliques are so small.
