Oral sex the same as plain old sex for teenagers.

Well another old chestnut hits the fire. The theory that teenagers engage in oral sex to maintain their virginity is out the window. cf. Washington Post.

Teenagers are just giving and getting hummers as another form of sex.

Now, I'm not going to argue that it's alright for teens to engage in sexual activity---quite the contrary. Teenagers have neither the emotional maturity nor the life experience to make proper decisions.

As a realist though, teenagers have been engaging in sex for millions of years. A couple of decades of moralizing by a bunch of nimrods bent on enforcing their moral will on the rest of us notwithstanding.

Kids will be kids and the best way to address teenage sex is to actually be up front about the teenage sex most parents and adults engaged in whilst teenagers themselves.

Let's get it all out in the open because nothing makes a teenager's eyes roll faster that a parent who's a moral hypocrite about sex.
