'Technical virginity' becomes part of teens' equation
My friend Erin posted this article about teen views of oral sex and "virginity" to the Fringe.
Excerpt:
The latest fuss is spurred by new federal data that found that more than half of 15- to 19-year-olds have received or given oral sex. Although the study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention did not ask the particulars of these encounters, research conducted in pre-Clinton times, along with more recent studies, suggests that teens largely fall on the "it's not sex" side.
Kids these days!
