Document Summary

Chapter 1 introduction to theoretical perspectives on sexuality. Oral sex: the stimulation of a person"s genitals by another person"s mouth to create sexual pleasure and usually, orgasm for at least one of its partners. Teens see oral sex as a way to explore their sexuality while maintaining their virginity. Does not require both individuals to be naked. Cannot result in pregnancy therefore does not require contraception: condoms and sheer glide dams recommended. Overall, there can be intimacy without the risks associated with intercourse or anal sex. It is important to expand and be inclusive in terms of definitions about what is really sex. Oral sex is considered assault when no consent is provided. Sexually transmitted infections (sti"s) can be transmitted during the act: e. g. , herpes. In adolescence in particular there are multiple issues that engaging in this act encompasses: non-reciprocity, peer pressure, confusion about intimacy.
