Bulgaria was never a communist state, and categorizing it as such is a gross misrepresentation. It was ally to communist states, yes, but the socialism in Bulgaria was far communism.

Thank you. Regardless of whether the article is factually correct, I'm a bit surprised to see the number of reactionary comments (dead or otherwise) in this thread.

Why are you surprised?
EDIT:
Of course you're not going to respond. You're just an annoying SJW that believes everything they read.

#17According to http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/medical_exa...
In the US rural teens have more sex than urban teens. One of the theories of why this happens is boredom. Rural teens just don't have as many activities to fill their day as do urban teens.
I wonder if something like that can explain at least part of this finding. The West during this time underwent massive technological and social change, compared to the Communist countries. In addition, in the Communist countries, complaining could land you in prison (see the Stasi and their informant network). Unless you wanted to risk your life escaping, the best coping strategy was probably to shut up and have sex to relieve your tension.

Sorry, are you saying that the People's Republic of Bulgaria was not run by Bulgarian Communist Party? Or are you saying that there wasn't a People's Republic of Bulgaria or that the Bulgarian Communist Party wasn't communist? Or something else?

Why do you think that?
As far as I know, it was ruled for 40+ years by the self called communist party, and the means of production were owned by the state.
They might not have been part of the USSR, but they were pretty communist as far as I can see.

#20I really wish the NYTimes didn't publish crap like this: "here's a marginally significant observation about two groups of people and here's a bunch of anecdotes that purport to explain the difference." It's a just-so story wrapped in a veneer of history. At least deal with the subject critically, discuss whether the observation is significant or whether the method (anecdotes, in this case) being used to explain the differences between people is robust. Ask a follow up question: "If X is true, we might also expect Y."
