Oral Sex Becoming More Common

More and more teenagers are engaging in oral sex. Many rationalize their behavior by stating that oral sex is safe, and that it "isn't really sex'. Counselors attribute the increased oral sex activity to a lack of moral foundation and confusion about what is "normal" behavior between men and women.

"Some teens say it can take place at parties, possibly with multiple partners. But they say the more likely scenario is oral sex within an existing relationship... A new study showed that more teens believed oral sex was more acceptable for their age group than intercourse, even if the partners are not dating."

A recent study by the Centers for Disease Control found that over half of 15- to 19-year-olds are having oral sex. Read more at ClaudeMills.com.

If your teen is engaging in risky behaviors, a private boarding school may be the answer. BoardingSchoolsInfo.com lists private boarding schools, boarding high schools, and residential schools and programs for adolescents.
