I figured out the reason why there are so many zealots in the organization. They feel GUILT because of what they previously did, those "secret sins" that nobody knows about. Because THEY know what they did, they overcompensate for it and try to. every day, live down their guilt!
Do You Think JW Youths "Do It"?

I think that there are those who do wait, and I think probably the majority, though there may be hard core making out going on.
Of course there will always be those who "do it" anyways, but I think that they are in the minority. I think that the percentage of who do is much less than the average teenager out there.

I would have to say mostly no and depending a lot on your parents. If you are in a strict household, and by strict I mean go to all the meetings, field service, elder dad, etc., I think it would be very difficult to "do it" without being caught. The normal avenues that would give you the free time just are not open to the strict dub. I think that if your parents are a little less strict then you might have a chance to score but you will always be looking over your shoulder.
I also remember hearing a study done recently showing that most kids lose their virginity around the holidays, because parents are busy and not around as much, and kids feel lonely, so they engage in sexual activity. Once again, dub kids are screwed but not in a good way over the holidays because if your in a strict family, you will probably end up spending your holiday out in service.
However, if you did want to go ahead with it, I can see why you would want to go for a worldly girl. The logistics of dating a worldly girl would be easier, less secrets to keep I guess and probably a lot less prudish. Although, if any other dub kids go to your school, things get much more complicated.
I found this study about virginity pledging to be very interesting.

The study was between youths you pledged to be virgins and those who did not. The rate of STDs between both groups in the end was the same.
Open and honest communication between parents and children is what is needed, not lies and coverups.
