“…These behaviors place college students at an increased risk for STDs (Trieu, Bratton, & Marshak, ; Turchik, Garske, Probst, & Irvin, ; Vail‐Smith, Maguire, Brinkley, & Burke, ). Misconceptions among college students regarding STDs have been identified to influence sexual behavior and include: being unaware STDs can be transmitted through oral sex; believing STDs can only be transmitted when symptoms are present; and believing only those who have multiple partners should be concerned about contracting STDs (Dangui et al., ; Dotson‐Blake, Knox, & Zusman, ; Hickey & Cleland, 2012; Royer, Heidrich, & Brown, ).…”

Background and purpose College years are a time young adults examine high‐risk sexual behaviors, increasing their risk for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Fraternity/sorority membership has been identified as one factor contributing to increased risky sexual behavior in college students. This study measured the effectiveness of an educational intervention targeting STD prevention in fraternity and sorority members, and examined relationships between STD knowledge, attitudes, and demographics. Methods A descriptive, correlational design was used. Pre‐ and posttest data were collected from fraternity and sorority members (N = 132). Instruments measured demographic characteristics, STD knowledge, and attitudes toward safe sex behaviors. Conclusions There was a significant increase in STD knowledge from baseline (M = 13.03, SD = 6.5) to 1 week (M = 20.27, SD = 4.9) t (131) = −13.53, p = .000. Males were more likely to report attitudes toward risky sexual behavior rs(132) = .323, p = .000, and as knowledge increased, attitudes became more favorable to safe sex behaviors (pre‐STD knowledge and preintervention attitudes, r(132) = −.249, p = .004; post‐STD knowledge and postintervention attitudes, rs(132) = −.307, p = .000). Implications for practice Results support that brief STD educational interventions can increase STD knowledge. College health centers must aim to provide sexual health education to all students at every visit.

Since thousands of years ago, oral sex has become part of sexual behavior among humans. Oral sex is considered taboo. Its taboo does not lie in the behavior, but its expression is deemed inappropriate. As technology becomes more sophisticated, human rights also stand out, leading to the disclosure of the practice in the 21st century. The oral sex that is discussed on a large scale in media encourages people to express it as feedback whether within right or not. It all depends on the value of each people. We found that this sexual behavior is found everywhere regardless of religion, culture, and race. Pop culture influences this behavior so much, it can be seen from music, movies, and television programs that provoke oral sex. Many motivations underlying this behavior include getting sexual pleasure for the sake of psychological well-being. But it is undeniable that this behavior is still controversial. It could be at risk of causing disease and, on the other hand, is reported to provide many benefits. According to our theory, oral sex is not a new behavior crossing boundaries. It is just an old behavior that surfaces because of the factors that support it. This behavior, which is still considered taboo, has its disadvantages such as sexually transmitted disease and oral cancer but has also benefits such as preventing preeclampsia.
