Certain Oral Activities Linked To Intercourse Onset, New Research Suggests

I am thinking of changing the name of this blog to “New Research Suggests”, for these three words begin most press releases announcing dubious “scientific” results. Whoever first thought of this phrase knew what he was doing. It is at once suggestive, vaguely exciting, but non-committal, having a built-in escape clause. It is the advertising equivalent of “New and Improved”: it never fails to work its magic.

First, a naughtiness alert: today’s titillating topic touches tender territory. There is no way to discuss our subject without resorting to certain rough language. Ready?

“Having Oral Sex Increases Likelihood of Intercourse Among Teens, Study Finds” is the headline at Science Daily, a site whose existence depends upon reprinting press releases provided by universities. Universities, I say; entities who think it wise to employ staff to tout the triumphs of their tenured. The University of California, San Francisco, provided this press release.

It describes the work—to stretch a word—of Bonnie Halpern-Felsher, PhD, professor of pediatrics at UCSF, and Anna Song, also PhD, but residing at UC Merced. According to Song, “Our study demonstrates that through its relationship with intercourse, oral sex contributes to the total risk associated with sexual activity among teens, including sexually transmitted diseases and pregnancy.” Risk?...

Might have been an interesting study if they found something that did NOT increase the likelihood of teens having sex.

I think you can look at how many humans are on the planet and assume there is a strong and effective urge to procreate.

How would my sometimes erotically unusual but always mutually pleasurable sexual gymnastics with my cute and extremely agile funny little honey have anything to do with the likelihood of some strange teenagers having intercourse?

I'm pretty sure the blinds were closed....

I'm amazed that they need a study to find out these things. I recently saw article about how hip-hoppers got more sex than other groups.

Obviously, those who hop on hips get more sex than those who don't.

That’s like saying ‘Volcanic activity leads to upheavals of dirt’.

Genius! Who would of ever guessed! I'm just waiting for the same geniuses to tell us that drinking large quantities of alcohol can lead to possible intoxication...

These people remind me of a kid i once knew, he had learned a few 4 letter words and he would go around repeating them continually as if he was proud of him self as if he were the only one who knew them.
