Most Indian men want virgin brides

Statistics in the fourth India Today-AC Nielsen-ORG-MARG survey on sexuality published in the India Today magazine
- 46 percent said they have had premarital sex.
- 62 percent said they watched pornographic films with friends.
- 63 percent said they expected their future wives to be virgins.
- 37 percent of men surveyed said they’d had at least one homosexual experience.
While the first two points sound quite believable, I think the last two points indicate that the survey has had some serious trouble with statistics.
- 63% would make most women would rejoice as they point out that this proves that men have double standards. While I would not comment on double standards, I do think that 63% is probably way above the mark. My guess would have been in the vicinity of 15-25%
- 37% of men had a homosexual encounter… Hmm… Is homosexuality that prevalent in out society. Guess they do a great job of hiding their sexual preferences.
Can someone subscribed to the magazine update me on the sample size they used?

I think this magazine has either made these stats up or a lot of people don’t tell the truth when answering these surveys.

I do some commenting and like a link from the comment, …
I’m not quite sure where the line is with this and would appreciate your opinion here.
