Survey: Teens underestimate oral sex risks

Youngsters who engage in oral sex rarely used condoms or dental dams, even though herpes, hepatitis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis as well as the virus that causes AIDS can all be transmitted orally, it added.

"Given the suggestion that adolescents do not view oral sex as sex and see oral sex as a way of preserving their virginity while still gaining intimacy and sexual pleasure, they are likely to interpret sexual health messages as referring to vaginal sex," wrote lead author Bonnie Halpern-Felsher, a pediatrician at the University of California, San Francisco.
 
Brings back memories of that whole "Is Oral Sex really Sex" thread from a while back...
 
You can get herpes, hepatitis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis from oral? I knew I shouldn't have spent that night with that Taiwanese shemale. 🙁
 
I have never even heard of dental dams... though the concept sounds strange.

Of all the risks from oral to me it seems like herpes is the worst. sometime like 90% of people have that oral form of herpes (the kind that causes cold sores) and it you have a cold sore when you are doing the oral you have a good change of giving the other person genital herpes... nasty.

Thankfully my wife and I don't have the oral herpes (at least we have never gotten a gold sore) but we do get those annoying canker sores every once in a while. Still, I'll take that over the other anytime

This goes along with the stupid idea that virginity is somehow a "virtue" that must be "preserved".

Anything that results in sexual pleasure is sex, in one form or another. If you're going to deny yourself sex, then deny yourself sex. Don't be hypocritical about it.

That said, it's best to treat the subject with open eyes, and educate young people to the point where they can do it safely.

so if a guy or girl can orgasm while you suck and nibble on their ears, thats sex?

It resulted in sexual pleasure, didn't it? So it's sex.
