Attitudes about oral sex are changing among young people

September 28, 2010 By: florenceblogger Category: Florence

Sex, like virtually all areas of society, evolves over time. This time a group of Canadian scientists have been busy studying behaviours and attitudes of young people about oral sex, and have determined that the times are changing. It was determined that this practice has become a very important part of young people’s sexual repertoire. This study was designed so as to better educate young people about their sexual practices.
Oralsex
Brea Malacad of the University of Alberta led the study and investigated 181 women from 18 to 25 years. One of the most important conclusions she reached was that oral sex is as common as or more common than intercourse among adolescents. In fact, the respondents who had penetrative sex also admitted engaging in oral sex. This ground-breaking discovery is accompanied by a bit of bad news- very few use protection while performing oral sex.

Malacca said that women associated with intercourse and oral sex with positive emotions. It was determined that most carried out these practices because they like it. Some 30% of them said that while performing oral sex they “feel powerful.”

Perhaps it is a practice many times more common than the penetration itself, because 50% of respondents considered oral sex to be a less intimate practice. Moreover 41% believe it is equally intimate and 9% more intimate than penetrative sex.

One of the biggest problems is protection. 82% of respondents performed oral sex without protection. But the penetration was only 7% did not use condoms. This means, according to the experts, that the message about safe sex is clear in relation to intercourse but not in relation to oral sex.

The best thing to do is take a good holiday, rent an apartment in Florence and enjoy the results of this study.



I masturbate

Masturbation

Why are most people so embarrassed to admit that they masturbate? I mean we all do it, and there’s nothing wrong with it: on the contrary, it lets you get to know what you like. Yet, today, many people publicly deny that they perform this sexual practice and even prohibit their partners from performing it, because they associate masturbation with relationship problems. Worst of all is the myth that masturbation causes blindness and other diseases. Nothing is further from the truth. Of course, it is a healthy and satisfying sexual practice that gives the practitioner pleasure. The only problem now is that you might end up in jail if you do it in the wrong place… avoid beaches, parks and trains at all cost.

Many people feel guilty when they masturbate- it is a shameful secret. Perhaps that is why people usually masturbate when home alone and in a private place, like under the covers or behind the door (and sometimes with the lights off). However, one must know that first of all, touching oneself is a natural act, which you shouldn’t be ashamed of. First of all, you need to accept that it is a natural drive, and that many people enjoy auto-erotic experiences.

Be open about the practice and you may discover that you don’t need to compare it with partner sex; it is a valid and valuable practice on its own. However, exploring it with a partner could take it to new levels. You could take a trip to Italy with your partner to explore new levels of intimacy. Rent apartments in Florence and discover yourselves anew: feel the exciting and penetrating gaze of your partner as they take note on how you give yourself so much pleasure.
