Somebody needs to educate Sharon Stone regarding sex.

Well, the Queen of the Damned is encouraging girls to go down on their boyfriends.
Only a gay Republican would find something wrong with that.

What do you feel she needs to be educated about? It's called harm reduction.

But all sex is bad! Outside of marriage. And just to make babies.
White, Christian babies.

"What do you feel she needs to be educated about?"

oral sex is a hundred times safer than vaginal or anal sex

Well it is safer. I'm not sure where she gets the 100 times number from. But it is certainly safer than unprotected vaginal or anal intercourse.

"If you're in a situation where you cannot get out of sex, offer a blow job. I'm not embarrassed to tell them."

Just what we need. A 40-something has-been-and-trying-hard-to-be-relevant-again-actress, currently starring in a bad soft-porn sequel, advising my daughter to offer a blow job to get out of being raped.

Am I missing something here?

"If you're in a situation where you cannot get out of sex, offer a blow job."

That's called consensual sex and won't get a potential rapist put in jail.

Whatever happened to teaching women self defense?

Ummmm....I don't think she's actually talking about being raped.

ErikJ, what do you call a situation where you cannot get out of sex?

[Craig]

Not to defend her - but I think she chose poor wording. I don't think she meant can't get out of sex as in being raped or anything close. I think she's talking about girls/women who aren't ready to have sex but might feel pressured by their boyfriends, dates, hook up.

And if you're going to get mad at Sharon Stone, then get mad at Dr. Ruth and countless other qualified professionals who have said similar things. I remember Dr. Ruth saying that if the woman (although referring to a married woman or one in a relationship) doesn't want to have sex (not meaning against her will - just isn't up for it) that from time to time she should suggest a quickie - or oral sex instead to placate her partner. It's not news. And it's hardly controversial.

Many adoloscent girls, especially those with low self esteem, often feel they have no other choice than to have sex with their boyfriend for fear of losing them.

"Many adoloscent girls, especially those with low self esteem, often feel they have no other choice than to have sex with their boyfriend for fear of losing them."

SO, they should have oral sex with the boyfriend and lower their self esteem even more and possibly catch a disease?

I don't think she's saying the SHOULD go out and have oral sex. Many of these teens are having sex anyway. I think what she is saying is that if you're out there having sex, for whatever reason, here is a safer option.

From the article:
She explains, "I was in the store the other day and I watched a young girl trying on clothes, showing her abdomen. "Her mother was trying to talk to her about not being inappropriately luring. I said, 'Gee that would look much nicer with a camisole under.' "Her mother walked away, and I said to the girl, 'I'd like to give you a two-minute conversation about sex.' "Young people talk to me about what to do if they're being pressed for sex? I tell them (what I believe): oral sex is a hundred times safer than vaginal or anal sex. "If you're in a situation where you cannot get out of sex, offer a blow job.

Craig, I have no issues with giving the advice to a consenting adult; but when Stone presents the advice to an impressionable young teenager, behind the parent's back, it shoots into the realm of controversial.

From the link you posted:

"While no one knows exactly what the degree of risk is, evidence suggests that the risk is less than that of unprotected anal or vaginal sex."

"While no one knows exactly what the degree of risk is"

"evidence suggests"

Does anything you just read say "We are 100% positive you will not get HIV from oral sex?

No...but I don't think that's what Sharon Stone is saying either. You don't undertand the basic principals of harm/risk reduction in health education...maybe you should educate yourself.
