Blame Bubba

I don't know why exactly but this is very unsettling:
One in five US teenagers say they have engaged in oral sex, an activity that some adolescents view as not sex at all and certainly less risky than intercourse, a report said.

The survey of 580 children with a mean age of 14-and-a-half found 20 per cent said they had engaged in oral sex, compared to 14 per cent who said they had engaged in sexual intercourse.

In addition, one-third of the multi-ethnic 9th graders surveyed said they intended to have oral sex within the next six months and nearly one-fourth planned to have intercourse during the period.

It was more common for boys to have performed oral sex on girls than vice versa, the report said.

Previous studies and numerous campaigns aimed at deterring teenaged sex have focused on intercourse, but as many as half of adolescents experience oral sex first, the report said.
Oh well, I suppose it keeps them off the streets.
