Oral sex lessons to cut rates of teenage pregnancy

Encouraging schoolchildren to experiment with oral sex could prove the most effective way of curbing teenage pregnancy rates, a government study has found.
Pupils under 16 who were taught to consider other forms of \'intimacy\' such as oral sex were significantly less likely to engage in full intercourse, it was revealed.

Britain\'s teenage pregnancy rate is the highest in Europe. In 2002 there were 39,286 teen pregnancies recorded. The government has spent more than £60 million to tackle the problem but so far failed to halt the rise.

A sex education course developed by Exeter University trains teachers to talk to teenagers about \'stopping points\' before full sex.

Now an unpublished government-backed report reveals that a trial of the course has been a success. Schoolchildren, particularly girls, who received such training developed a \'more mature\' response to sex.

The study by the National Foundation for Educational Research found youngsters were \'less likely to be sexually active\' than peers who received traditional forms of sex education, dispelling the fears of family campaigners who believe such methods actually arouse the sexual interest of teenagers.

Now the government will recommend the scheme, called A Pause, to schools throughout England and Wales following the success of the trial in 104 schools where sexual intercourse among 16-year-olds fell by up to 20 per cent, according to Dr John Tripp of the Department of Child Health at the University of Exeter, who helped to design the course.

Teachers who sign up to the course are primed to deal with queries from pupils on all kinds of sexual experience. Those behind the course stress the scheme does not suggest teenagers experiment with oral sex. Instead they say A Pause promotes the message that other forms of physical intimacy are safer than full intercourse.

\'It teaches people assertiveness skills and that they should be only as intimate as they feel comfortable with,\' said Tripp.

A Department for Education and Skills spokesman said the report\'s verdict would be made available to all schools. \'All teachers respect peer-reviewed material, and this will help influence their decision,\' he said.

Yeah like kids will honestly stop at oral sex. :rolleyes:

It\'s the first I have heard of it but knowing Tony Blair it is probably true.

Swifdi can give a mean blowjob. You think he uses moose or gel on his hair? WRONG! That\'s Man Juice, baby!

Swifdi...I think it\'s time you get a job : teaching Blow Jobs!

I haven\'t heard anything of it either.

I guess they are trying to cut down the truancy rates, no one will ever want to take a day off school again if that was the case.

I want to go back to school.

It\'s an interesting concept on paper but I don\'t think very practical in reality. It could lead to more teenage pregnancies. Instead of teaching them about oral sex, teach them how to use condoms or other forms of contraception. That would severely cut down on teen pregnancies.

I\'m sure they\'ve tried those standard approaches Titan..

This might work.. instead of the old "don\'t do this", they can teach kids to have fun... and the kids will pay attention while they slip in the contraception/not going all the way bits in the shpiel.  I know when I was 16 I woulda been happy with oral

yeah its true Gman.

Its been on the cards for sometime now but its been low key...well until now.

If you ever want a laugh then get hold of a Politically Correct book on Sex Ed...

Very funny indeed.

for example a womans vagina is refered to as..."Fatty PADS!"...
