The proportion of teenagers who have given or received oral sex was slightly higher than the proportion who have had intercourse, the survey found, with 55 percent of boys and 54 percent of girls having given or received oral sex, while 49 percent of boys and 53 percent of girls have had intercourse.
"One thing that surprised me is that we expected, based on anecdotal evidence, that girls might be more likely to give oral sex and boys more likely to receive it, but we didn't find that at all," said Dr. Jennifer Manlove of Child Trends, a research group. "There's more gender equality than we expected."
