Since 2000, the country has been holding it's collective breath, anticipating the historical emergence of "Clinton Legacy." Alright, so may be it has only been half of the country. Oops, you got me again...let's try this again shall we?
Since 2000, Bill Clinton has been holding his breath, anticipating the emergence of his historic legacy. Would it be the Marc Rich pardon? Or perhaps the Defense of Marriage Act? Maybe letting Osama Bin Laden slip through his fingers? If you answered "no" to all of these suggestions, you would be right.
Reuters is now reporting the first evidence that there will indeed be a Clinton legacy, although I doubt it is one he will care to claim.
One in five U.S. teenagers say they have engaged in oral sex, an activity that some adolescents view as not sex at all and certainly less risky than intercourse, a report released Monday said.
The survey of 580 children with a mean age of 14-1/2 found 20 percent said they had engaged in oral sex, compared to 14 percent who said they had engaged in sexual intercourse.
One can only imagine where these statistics might lie if it weren't for world leaders driven to inspire entire generations of youth to new goals. Has there been a more appropriate time for that swelling of pride that comes with being an American?
Reuters further reports that Clinton's "thumbs up" to oral sex may lead kids to ignore public health messages that they believe apply only to intercourse.
"Given the suggestion that adolescents do not view oral sex as sex and see oral sex as a way of preserving their virginity while still gaining intimacy and sexual pleasure, they are likely to interpret sexual health messages as referring to vaginal sex," wrote lead author Bonnie Halpern-Felsher, a pediatrician at the University of California, San Francisco.
"Adolescents also believed that oral sex is more acceptable than vaginal sex for adolescents their own age in both dating and non-dating situations, oral sex is less of a threat to their values and beliefs, and more of their peers will have oral sex than vaginal sex in the near future," she wrote.
Let the teenage oral-fest begin. Thanks Bill.
