There's no doubt that this particular behavior pattern has spread widely on account of one man, bill clinton. An honest news article would have mentioned his example and the changes it has made in our culture. Oral sex among teenagers has increased considerably because of his example and the corrupt media and Democrat politicians who shrugged his behavior off.
I went to a small 2A school before clintoon was elected and things like this happened. Things like this happen for a number of complex reasons and to place most of the blame on an idiot like clinton is giving him just a little too much credit.
I disagree. There is in fact doubt as to whether he is responsible for this. I don't doubt that he brought the issue into greater national prominence, which probably did legitimize it a bit in a lot of kids' minds.
But it's natural that modern kids would turn to oral sex. First off, there is greatly reduced danger from that than from regular intercourse. Second, the girl exposes less of herself--she can keep as much of her clothing on as she wants; women might feel less compromised by giving head than by having straight sex. Third, an increasing openness about all matters sexual has been the trend long before BC got his BJ from ML.
