Teen Alternative Sex Teen alternative sex is teen involvement in sexual activities other than vaginal intercourse. It can include:
Oral sex Anal sex Petting, hand jobs, dry humping or any other stimulation of the partner's genitals Mutual masturbation Necking or making out
Some teens choose alternative sex as a means of expressing sexuality while remaining a virgin. Also, many teens think alternative sex is safe sex, but this is a misunderstanding. None of these activities will cause pregnancy, as long as no seminal fluid gets into the female's vagina, but these methods of teen alternative sexcan spread some or all of the 25 or more known sexually transmitted diseases, and thousands of teens are infected with STDs every day. Teen anal sex is a high-risk sexually activity for the spread of teen sexually transmitted diseases, including fatal STDs such as Hepatitis B and HIV. Many teens think that oral sex is safe, but it is a leading cause of teen STD infections. Even if contact with semen is avoided, many teens have undetected bleeding gums, which can spread HIV, and any contact with the genital area can spread STDs such as herpes and genital warts. Mutual masturbation is safer sex only if there is no close contact with the other teen's body or bodily fluids. Necking can also spread some STDs such as syphilis.
