A study in the April issue of the journal Pediatrics designed to gauge teen perceptions of oral sex versus vaginal sex shows that about one in five ninth-graders in the U.S. say they've had oral sex, a finding that adults should keep in mind when counselling teens about sex, researchers say reports CBC. Researchers surveyed 580 ethnically diverse ninth-graders with an average age of 15 1/2 in California. Girls made up 58 per cent of those surveyed. Of the respondents, 20 per cent said they had engaged in oral sex, compared to 14 per cent who said they had had sexual intercourse. One-third also said they intended to have oral sex within the next six months. "These findings suggest that adults should discuss more than one type of sexual practice when they counsel teens," said Bonnie Halpern-Felsher, a professor of adolescent medicine at the University of California, San Francisco who led the research.
