“Oral sex the new abstinence”
September 18th, 2008 at 4:00 pm by David FarrarSorry but can’t resist headlines like this one: Oral sex the new abstinence.
Is this like “Chocolates the new salad”?
“For young people it’s an almost universal practice now, with 90 percent trying it before the age of 30,” said Basil Donovan, a professor of sexual health at the University of NSW.
90% by age 30?? I would have said age 20.
Another sexual health expert, Dr Juliet Richters, author of the book Doing it Down Under, said she believed the rise of feminism was the key to the trend
Yay for feminism 
The dramatic shift has occurred in one generation, with people aged over 50 having had oral sex for the first time an average of eight years after first having standard sex.
Good God.
“Now it’s a one year gap and in many groups the oral intercourse comes first, some times by a few years,” Prof Donovan said.
I would have thought that it was more common for oral sex to precede vaginal sex. I certainly know a few people who see oral as a sort of enhanced third base!

Much less hard to swallow than Winston’s evidence to the Privileges Committee, it would seem.

Gold.
Of course it is 3B & beyond DPF as it increases your chance of the homer.
Infused says “hot HC” that would be a first…or was that a freudian slip?
Feminism should not be confused with Female liberation. Feminists try to package these together.

“The dramatic shift has occurred in one generation, with people aged over 50 having had oral sex for the first time an average of eight years after first having standard sex.”
Questions :
1) What is “standard sex” ?
2) Has Cactus Kate seen this post yet ?
3) Does the research indicate that feminists are more likely to “give head” or more likely to demand it ?
4) Did the research indicate which sex the feminists were “giving head” too ?

Pug noshing…brilliant. When I lived in Aussie more than a few years ago we used to refer to it in he vernacular French “L’Homage” which means roughly to kneel at the altar and pay homage, you get the idea…

Surprised no one has mentioned the Crowded House connection among the euphemisms yet – praying at the Temple of Low Men. Although a bout of Horatio is still my favourite.

To keep this discussion in the gutter. Today on Lampton Quay I saw what I didn’t think was possible to see in Wellington, let alone any other part of NZ. Two really hot lesbians having a serious goodbye pash.

Brian – one of them may work somewhere near Midland park. I think I know of the couple to which you are referring. Definitely doing their bit to make sure you can’t beat Wellington on a “good day”!

But getting back to the topic:
“The dramatic shift has occurred in one generation, with people aged over 50 having had oral sex for the first time an average of eight years after first having standard sex.”
“Now it’s a one year gap and in many groups the oral intercourse comes first, some times by a few years,” Prof Donovan said.”
I wonder what those “groups” are, then? Your RRM is certainly of the “Now” generation more than the “over 50″ one, and while my own oral experimentations did not lag 8 years behind the biblical act, they would certainly have begun at least 8 *times* later and were only rare ever after. I put this down to the natural endowment (shared by all us lefties) which evidently left her ladyship wanting for nothing in the way of a cunning linguist…
