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?
