This statement from that article clearly makes the statement that "alternative" forms of sex are INHERENTLY more risky than vaginal penile coitus.
" The sad story is that kids who are trying to preserve their technical virginity are, in some cases, engaging in much riskier behavior," said lead author Peter S. Bearman, a professor at Columbia's Institute for Social and Economic Research and Policy. "From a public health point of view, an abstinence movement that encourages no vaginal sex may inadvertently encourage other forms of alternative sex that are at higher risk of STDs."
The article clearly says "alternative" sex acts are more risky than coitus. There's not much wiggle room around that. Quote: |
i cannot see how this is relevant to homosexuality, but every thread here eventually ends up at homosexuality, so it isnt really that surprising.
| This thread IS about homosexuality though. And homosexual sexual relations, at least the male variant, require some kind of alternative sexual techniques. So you shouldn't be surprised that someone might talk about homosexuality in a thread entitled " Health Risk in Sexual Activity in Gay Practices".  |
