Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement suggests that while there are prohibitions on premarital adolescent sex in the US, they are not strongly enforced. This indicates a semirestrictive culture regarding adolescent sexuality because there are rules in place but they are not strictly enforced. A permissive culture would have few, if any, rules or restrictions on adolescent sexuality, while a restrictive culture would have strict enforcement of rules against it. A semipermissive culture is not a commonly used term in this context.
