STUDY REVEALS RISKY SEX BEHAVIOR AMONG NYC TEENS?NEW YORK (AP) — Nearly one-tenth of sexually active New York City high school students say they have had at least one same-sex partner, and teens who say they've had sexual contact with both sexes report higher-than-average rates of dating violence, forced sex and risky sexual behavior, a new study says.

The study published Monday in the journal Pediatrics analyzed 17,220 public health surveys and found that more than a third of teens who had same-sex encounters identified themselves as straight. Advocates said the results point to the need for public health messages to target behavior, not identity.

It's troubling, though not surprising, that the youths who reported encounters with both sexes also had higher rates of risky behavior and violence, said Dr. Susan Blank, assistant commissioner of the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

Wow, they actually needed a study for that?

Answer by Jason HCK
Not surprising. Don't most kids experiment with the same sex at some point? I know a lot of straight guys who did as teens. Maybe it makes one straight to do that.... I didn't experiment with the same sex as a kid, and I ended up gay. Maybe you just need to get it out of your system as a youngster.
