I'm going to jump right into the fire here and start you off with something to think about...read this and react...let's talk...feel free to ASK AWAY...!
Oral Sex...Extremely intimate or just something to do?? According to USATODAY, "Among teens, oral sex is often viewed so casually that it needn't even occur within the confines of a relationship. Some teens say it can take place at parties, possibly with multiple partners. But they say the more likely scenario is oral sex within an existing relationship. Still, some experts are increasingly worrying that a generation that approaches intimate behavior so casually might have difficulty forming healthy intimate relationships later on."
"My parents' generation sort of viewed oral sex as something almost greater than sex. Like once you've had sex, something more intimate is oral sex," says a 17 yr old high school senior. Now that some kids are using oral sex as something that's more casual, it's shocking to (parents)."
David Walsh, a psychologist and author of the teen-behavior book Why Do They Act That Way?, says the brain is wired to develop intense physical and emotional attraction during the teenage years as part of the maturing process. But he's disturbed by the casual way sex is often portrayed in the media, which he says gives teens a distorted view of true intimacy. Sex — even oral sex — "just becomes kind of a recreational activity that is separate from a close, personal relationship," he says.
"When the physical part of the relationship races ahead of everything else, it can almost become the focus of the relationship," Walsh says, "and they're not then developing all of the really important skills like trust and communication and all those things that are the key ingredients for a healthy, long-lasting relationship."
So, what do you think? Is oral sex outside of a "committed relationship" no big deal, or do you "blow" any chances of making a real connection??
