Bitter Pills (continued)

Timothy Reichert is not the only person to forget that maybe young women and even girls really love sex. My all time favourite essay about teen sex is by Caitlin Flanagan. It's a brilliant and insightful piece and can be found online here.

What Flanagan sets out to try (essay means to try) to explain is why teenage girls have gotten so much more willing to perform oral sex. I have some qualifications to make but I think she describes the situation accurately and I think her explanation of why this is happening is right.

That said, nowhere in the article does she recognize how much pleasure some women (I'd guess more than fifty percent of women) get from performing oral sex.
