    Study: Abstinence pledges may trigger risky sexual behavior

    NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) ? Adolescents who pledge to remain virgins until marriage are more likely to substitute high-risk sexual behaviors that increase the likelihood of transmitting sexually transmitted diseases, according to researchers who studied the sex lives of about 12,000 teens.
    The report by Yale and Columbia University researchers could help explain why a study by the same group last year found that despite having fewer sexual partners and getting married earlier, teens who pledge abstinence are just as likely to have STDs as their peers.

    The latest study, published in the April issue of the Journal of Adolescent Health, found that teens who pledge abstinence until marriage are more likely to have oral and anal sex than other teens who have not had intercourse.

    "They substitute other non-coital sex, which, however, puts you at risk," said Hannah Brueckner, assistant professor of sociology at Yale University and one of the study's authors.

    Among virgins, boys who have pledged abstinence were four times more likely to have had anal sex, according to the study. Overall, pledgers were six times more likely to have oral sex than teens who have remained abstinent but not as part of a pledge.

    The pledging group was also less likely to use condoms during their first sexual experience or get tested for STDs, the study found.

    Data from the study was taken from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health

    When was it and who decided that oral and anal did not count as sex?

    Silly kids, haven't they learned by now this if it feels good, it is not what God wants you to do?

    <font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Little did the moral crusaders who preach abstinence realize they increased the likelihood of their youngsters practicing unnatural sex!

    Apparently anal sex ain't just for homos anymore! Just ask your local teen!

    Oral should count as sex, it's penetration (sort of) even from the cunnilingus point of view.

    As far as anal goes, I dont go there. Never in my life have I had the desire to put my anything into someone's butt or have anyone ever put anything into mine. (still cant figure out how any man would want something crammed in their butt, but to each his own) And even as a heterosexual, I aint going into a gilrs poopshoot!

    But, I guess that should be counted too since it is penetration.

    I've heard that there has been more of a comeback in things like handjobs, because that is considerred safer sex, and everyone maturbates whether they admit it or not.

    Bring me to another point, if two lesbians have sex with a strap on doesnt that really make them heterosexuals?
