Teens who skip breakfast more likely to have sex

Teenagers who fail to eat breakfast in the morning are more likely to lose their virginity at a younger age, according to a new Japanese study.

A nationwide survey examining the sexual experiences, family relationships and lifestyle habits of 1,500 Japanese found an unexpected connection between eating breakfast and teenage sex.

The average age of first-time sex for those who ate breakfast every day as a school student was 19.4, compared to 17.5 years of age among those who skipped the first meal of the day...

I was going to type a response, but since I have already posted a response in another thread that would fit here just fine I'm going to have to say, "SEARCH!"

HAMMER:
Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a
kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent the
object we are trying to hit.

Well maybe if they stopped sneaking out in the middle of the night I would make them breakfast in the morning!

Which goes to show that a little nookie in the morning is just as satisfying and less fattening than breakfast

True for adults as well.

If you're having a lot of morning sex, usually by the time you're done & go out to eat, the restaurants have stopped serving breakfast.

MMMmmmmm. Morning Sex.

Folks get this is correlation not causation, yes? Like increase in incidence of murder and increase in ice cream sales in New York City.

Breakfast is a dependent or "lurking" variable not the independent variable.

The cited news story alludes to that:

The study, which interviewed people aged between 16 and 49 during September, also found that teenagers who were annoyed by their mothers were more likely to have sex for the first time at a younger age.

Those who had difficult relationships with their mother lost their virginity at 16 compared to 19 years of age for those who enjoyed a positive maternal relationship, according to the study.

The link between breakfast and sex cast a spotlight onto the family life and domestic set-up of the nation's teenagers, according to Kunio Kitamura, executive director of the Japan Family Planning Association, which conducted the government-backed survey.

"The fact that people can't eat breakfast may show something about their family environment," said Dr Kitamura. "Before blaming individuals for having sex at an early age, it may be necessary to look into the sort of homes they are from."

I certainly get that... and an odd correlation at that... of course the numbers really aren't that high, but I didn't read the article so I don't know if p values are discussed.
