There is an alarming trend when it comes to teens and oral sex.  It seems to be happening at younger and younger ages and in more and more scary/creative places, like school buses and school bathrooms.  Teens seem to flock to oral sex as an alternative to “real” sex that allows them to keep their “virginity”.

Teen girls feel that they need to make the person they are with “happy” and so they compromise and perform oral sex.  This is a scary trend since they do not realize that oral sex IS sex.  It carries all the same risks of disease transmission and most of the same emotional turmoil potential as “real” sex.

Teens need to be prepared for situations where oral sex may be involved.  Know that if you go to the movies for a date it may turn into something more.  Think about what you want ahead of time so you are not caught off guard.  Never do something just because you want someone else to be happy if you are uncomfortable in any way.  It’s OK to tell the person you are with that you would like to watch the movie.

Remember that sex of any kind is a big deal emotionally and try not to bite of more than you can chew!  Remember that you are amazing and worth loving no matter what, and make sure that your amazing decisions are respected!
