Americans remain deeply ambivalent about teenage sexuality. Many presume that such uneasiness is rooted in religion. But how exactly does religion contribute to the formation of teenagers' sexual values and actions?

What difference, if any, does religion make in adolescents' sexual attitudes and behaviors? Are abstinence pledgeseffective? What does it mean to be ""emotionally ready"" for sex? Who expresses regrets about their sexual activity and why?

Tackling these and other questions, Forbidden Fruit tells the definitive story of the sexual values and practices of Americanteenagers, paying particular attention to how participating in organized religion shapes sexual decision-making.
