"Jones noted that the analysis could not determine which sexual activity tended to occur first." OH, OKAY, THANKS. First the articles go on and on about this "link" and possible conclusions that can be drawn from these isolated pieces of data, already suggesting a weak perception of correlation and causation, then they tell us that the article isn't REALLY drawing this conclusion that teenagers don't have oral sex "first"; that's just... I don't know... something researchers made up? Okay, yeah, there's a link between the two. People who have engaged in intercourse are likely to have engaged in oral sex, and the opposite can POSSIBLY be stated too (although of course "likely" is subjective.) Do you think that maybe... teenagers who engage in sexual activities are liable to be, you know, participating in other sexual activities? THIS IS REVOLUTIONARY. UP THE SEX ED PLZ.
