I don't have a statistic but I think you would agree with me that the typical case for the persons in your norm standard is that they have gone steady more than once and probably several times before deciding to commit to one partner in a monogamous relationship. "any greater risk of STD or any other of your dire consequences than if they had just gone ahead and gotten married? Are you kidding? Where do you think STDs come from if not from relationships that involve more than one partner.

Many couples find they are sexually incompatible. I know of NO way to find that out, save for living with someone for a while. I cannot see what possible harm the committed non-marital sexual relationship of two people can do to others SAVE for the harm people outside the relationship wish to inflict on themselves by wringing their hands and bruising their fingers over this. I don't count harm intentionally inflicted to oneself as being harm caused by someone else. For example: I was SO upset that you were petting your cat in your own house I didn't sleep for days and I finally got an ulcer and my children couldn't go to college because I lost my job, due to my illness, and then my husband left me... And it's all your fault for petting that damn cat. Uh huh
