Sexuality

Teens Give Head at Unprecedented Rates

/ esfein / 1 Comment

The CDC has announced that two thirds of teens have had oral sex, the same number as those that have had sexual intercourse.  This reflects a complete change in the hierarchy of sexual intercourse compared to previous generations.

Oral sex was thought to be used to defer vaginal sex, but that is far from the truth. Kids are regularly engaging in oral sex just as much as they practice vaginal sex.

Even more interestingly, the previous gender gap of ‘give and take’ in regards to oral sex has virtually disappeared.  The researchers found that ” girls and boys gave and received oral sex equally and that sexual activity began at roughly the same age, with 44% of 15- to 17-year-old boys and 39% of girls of that age engaging in some kind of sexual activity with an opposite-sex partner.”

Although it is nearly impossible to contract aids orally, and impossible to become pregnant, there is still the risk of disease.  This has lead experts to believe there is more need than ever to make oral sex part of regular sex education.  Or, in my opinion, actually teach kids about sex during regular sex education.

What is the point of delaying the inevitable and potentially putting our children at risk just because we are afraid they might lose the innocence we ascribe to them?  I have news for you; your child was born a human, there is nothing non-sexual or innocent about them.

Do your child a favor, take responsibility and educate them fully about the world you brought them into.

Sex Is Just a Lack of Disgust

Well, not completely.  A Dutch study has recently examined how arousal can override feelings of disgust during sex, and even outside of sex.  The study found that women who are sexually aroused are more willing to do something they would normally flat out refuse to do.

The researchers split 90 female university student  into three groups.  One group watched ‘female friendly erotica’ (whatever that means), the next group watched a video of extreme sports to get them excited in a non-sexual way, and the final group watched a video of a train, boring and devoid of sex appeal.  What the researchers found was that the women who had watched porn were more willing and less disgusted by activities such as wiping their hands on a used tissue, eating a cookie next to a live worm, or lubricating a vibrator.

Disgust is an evolutionary developed emotion that protects us from danger and disease.  Arousal has the ability to completely override this feeling.

What does that mean for you and me?  It means that Mike Rowe from the show Dirty Jobs must have had a constant hard on.

Go figure.
