Although young people who sign a virginity pledge delay the initiation of sexual activity, marry at younger ages and have fewer sexual partners they are also less likely to use condoms and more likely to experiment with oral and anal sex, said the researchers from Yale and Columbia universities.
Gotta love how the bolded section was written so passively as to make it appear unimportant by comparison. IMO, that one sentence is a huge acknowledgment of the value of such pledges.
