Adolescent romance/sex study

I found this on the net a few months ago and have been waiting for an opportunity to use it somewhere. This week's Reverb service relvolving around sex seemed like a good opportunity. Click on it for a larger version:


A group of sociologist studied the entire population of a high school for eighteen months and created a diagram detailing the networking of their dating/sexual relationships. An article about the study and an explanation of their findings can be found here.

I really don't have much to say on the whole thing. I just found it interesting. Feel free to tell me your take on it, though.

I keep looking at that one little line down at the bottom right hand of the page that represents two people who had no relationships with anybody else.

Either they were really monogamous and into each other - or nobody else would go near them.

When you log into blogger, it should take you to your dashboard. To the right of the page there's an option to "edit profile." Click on that. Scroll down to the pictures section and erase the url, then save your changes.

If that doesn't work, let me know.

Yeah, that's actually what that line means, but it's more fun for me to imagine it as one lone couple standing firm in their monogamy against a sea of teenage horniness.

I gaurantee you that the large loop involves the marching band.

Only a band geek like yourself would think that, Adam...

Just kidding.
