There was a really good Lifetime movie on recently that adressed this subject. It was all middle-upper class "white" teens who were having sex and a lot of ORAL sex. All of the students ended up getting syphillis from oral sex with the "most popular boy" in school. The girls thought that if they just had oral sex they were still technically virgins and saving themselves. Also the movie did a really good job on showing how kids would just have sex to be popular with whoever, and with numerous boys at one time. There weren't really "feelings" towards the boys involved. It also showed the amount of peer pressure placed on kids to have sex and showed the attitude many kids (ie. boys) had that "oh well, if you don't have sex with me someone else will anyway so you don't have to be a popular kid then".

OK, don't teen magazines have health columns anymore? Part of my sex ed came from health advice Q and As from YM, Teen (RIP) and Seventeen.
