Oral sex a 'gateway' activity for teens

By Alan Mozes, HealthDay

Most teens who engage in oral sex for the first time will have vaginal intercourse within six months, a new poll indicates.
And half the teens who initiate oral sex in ninth grade will have vaginal intercourse before the end of junior year, the survey of California high school students finds.

'Oral sex among adolescents happens,' said study lead author Anna V. Song, an assistant professor in the school of social sciences, humanities, and arts at the University of California-Merced. 'But there's two contradictory ways it can go from there: There's the possibility that for adolescents oral sex is a gateway to vaginal sex or instead that it's being used to stave off vaginal sex.' - USATODAY.com
