Survey Finds Jewish Women Engage
Less in Pre-Marital Sex Than Peers

NEW YORK (JTA) — In-
formation provided by some
11)0,000 American women,
responding to a national
survey by Redbook maga-
zine on female sexuality,
indicates that Jewish
Nvomen engage in less pre-
marital or extra-marital sex
than do Catholic or Protes-
tant women but that very
substantial numbers of Jew-
ish women do engage in
such activities.
The results of the survey,
released last month, were
obtained from responses to
a questionnaire published in
the October 1974 issue of the
magazine. The women re-
sponding were mainly be-
tween the ages of 20 and 34.
The study was described by
the magazine as one of the
_largest ever conducted on
the sexual practices of mar-
ried young, middle-class
women.
The study showed that
73.1 percent of the Jewish
women reported they had
had pre-marital sex, com-
pared with 78.6 percent of
Catholic women and 80.5
percent of Protestant
women.

After marriage, 26 per-
cent of Jewish women said
they engaged in extra-
marital sex, while 26.7
percent of the Catholic

wives and 31.1 percent of
the Protestant wives said
they did.

The number of Jewish
women reporting both pre-
marital and extra-marital
sex- also was the lowest
among the three groups —
17 percent, compared with
19.4 percent of Catholic
women and 23.7 percent of
Protestant women. The per-
centage of Jewish women
answering the question-
naire was 3.7, roughly com-
parable to the Jewish pro-
portion of the total
American population.
The data on ages and reli-
gious backgrounds of the
respondents was based on
replies from all women an-
swering the questionnaire,
which also indicated that 95
percent were white. The
data on sexual behavior was
based on an analysis of a
subsample of 18,349 replies
made by a professional sta-
tistical organization.

The study also showed
that of the three religious
groups, Jews had the larg-
est positive response when
asked how they would rate
their marriage. Of those
answering, 76.6 percent of
the Jewish women said
their marriage was good
or very good, while 75.1
percent of the Catholics
and 74.9 percent of the

pur, The Jewish News

Protestants said the same.
Despite their high ap-
praisal of their marriage,

Jewish women said they
were the least happy of the
three groups. Only 52.2 per-
cent of the Jews said that
they were happy most of the
time, compared with 53.7
percent of the Catholics and
57.6 percent of the Protes-
tants.
The study was designed to
see how cultural changes
have affected the sexual
practices of married women
of all ages since the land-
mark report by Dr. Albert
Kinsey 22 years ago. The
data has been donated to the
Institute for Sex Research,
Inc., founded by Dr. Kinsey
at Indiana University.
