Teens and oral sex. The good, the bad, the real.
A recently released study by the federal government showed that oral sex among young teenagers seems to be far more common than originally thought. The study revealed that more than half of the universe of 15 through 19 years old girls interviewed have practiced oral sex on equal terms as boys, that is, both giving and receiving.
Some of the conclusions brought about by the study were quite revealing in that it presented facts that contradicted prior knowledge. Wheareas before boys were depicted as the hunters, the study presents girls hunting as much as them. What lies beneath this systematic change of sexual behaviour is the apparent notion among them that "oral sex is not really sex" and that by engaging in oral sex the risk of pregnancy is minimized.
But the true motivations weren't as clear. Some sources cited that girls had to compete for the popularity by providing oral sex while other sources explained the change in terms of a general social acceptance for such acts. The truly surprising note came from a study conducted 9 months before, based on the same survey, that showed that slightly more girls than boys have intercourse before they turn 20. In addition, other national data indicate that the proportion of high school girls who have one-night stands, as well as nonromantic sexual relationships, equals boys.
