Unlike in the first article, we can see that Phillips' advice (or behavior) is consistent with the reader's.

However, we did not arrive at any consensus. As a matter of fact, it did not arrive at any clear resolution. In terms of consensus, we can infer that both the reader's and the columnist's view are not in consensus to the crude reality about the social world, i.e. that sexual activity starts at relatively young years (see Song, 2004)......
