Chastity and Monogamy: Impacts on Mental Health and Public Policy

This article explores the correlation between chastity and monogamy with mental health and the effects on public policy. It examines the family structure of adults aged 35 to 39 years old and the impact of chastity on teenage pregnancy, non-marital sexual partners, abortion, and out-of-wedlock births. The study also considers the demographic factors, religious attendance, and sexual enjoyment in relation to these issues.
