Contrary to widespread belief, teenagers do not appear to commonly engage in oral sex as a way to preserve their virginity, according to the first study to examine the question nationally.

I always thought that sounded more like UL and hysteria than what I suspected my kids and their peers of doing.

Not that they all reported every thing they did to me personally :o but I do have a pretty good idea about what is up with my own kids and their group of friends. I do know what my own are up to and they did tell me what most of the kids did or didn't do. (we talk.) And my anec-data didn't match that anec-data.

Maybe it means people are getting rid of the concept of "virginity." (Which would be good, IMO.)

The story is shocking, but perhaps not unfamiliar. At a birthday party for a seventh-grader, the boy's mother had gone down to the basement only to find all the boys lined up along one wall. The girls, the mother reported, had been going down the line performing oral sex on them.

But is the story true? Some people certainly seem to think so.
