The findings of the survey revealed about 13 percent of 20,745 adolescents had taken the vow of virginity, but just a year later, completely denied having taken any such pledge. On the contrary those who had been frank about their sexual activity in 1995 seemed to have nil sexual activity in 1996.
According to the implications of this finding, teenagers flip flopping on their sexual activity could only raise their risk of contracting sexually transmitted disease and defeating the purpose of sex education programmes.
