The Economics of Fellatio

Amorous Research

Thomas Stratmann and Jonathan Klick believe they have discovered the increase in popularity of oral sex among teenage Americans:

Their hypothesis is that if teenagers really did think about the consequences of their actions, they would have less risky sex if the cost of risky sex went up. …

Wherever and whenever abortion-notification laws have been passed, gonorrhoea rates in the teenage and adult populations start to diverge. When it becomes more troublesome to get an abortion, teenagers seem to cut back on unprotected sex.

Comments

i hate how the girls are always left out. well, i mean, i didn’t read that article, but girls can’t receive fellatio (unless they are involving themselves in gender play but, well, you know).

i saw an episode of Degrassi a while back where a bunch of girls got oral gonnohrea from the same nasty dude. and while they handled it pretty well in general, not ONCE did they mention cunnilingus, not once did they even mention fingering the girls.

and when dr. fucking phil (who i detest) was on oprah, seriously -berrating- 14 year old girls about what they are and are not interested in sexually (he thinks sex is damaging, but i think and old fucking man yelling at you on tv is more damaging, call me nuts) the topic was fellatio and again, not a single mention of the girls receiving any pleasure in return.

assrags.

I was taking a liberty with the article. It just said oral sex. I don’t know if it is a buried cultural assumption that girls are ‘pure’ or that boys are actually selfish.

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about The Economics of Fellatio. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
