Oral sex is falling among teenage girls

News Sexual Health

Contrary to the common belief among doctors that oral sex has increased among girls in recent years, a new study says it has fallen.

The study of 6,300 men and women aged 15 to 24 found that about two thirds had had oral sex and about two thirds had had vaginal intercourse. But only 42% of the girls aged 15 to 19 had given or received oral sex, down from 45% in 2006–2008.

Having sex at an early age makes women more likely to catch sexually transmitted infections or to become pregnant. The results suggest that teenage girls aged 15 to 19 are now using condoms more, which gives them better protection.

Oral sex means stimulating the genitals with the mouth, whether by a man or by a woman.
