As they do when they cannot think of really constructive things to do, "experts" have conducted a survey. This survey was among young people and their habit of kissing the opposite sex. Apparently 150 youngsters who had contracted meningococcal diseases were asked how many people they had kissed. Many of them admitted to kissing more than one person on a regular basis. The survey came to the conclusion that promiscuous French kissing could increase your chances of contracting such diseases, some of which could be serious or even fatal.
What were the controls in this survey? Did they find a like group who had never kissed more than one person? How could they be sure? After all, how many red-blooded teenage blokes or girls would admit to never having kissed more than one person?
"No mate," says a spotty teenager, "I've never even touched a girl, let alone put my tongue down her throat." I can't see that happening, can you? I can't see any teenager admitting that for fear of ridicule. More likely the ego-boosting, keeping up with one's peers, answer would be "Yeah, Suzi's epiglotis tastes really nice . . . and Zoe's . . . and, come to think of it, my tongue nearly reached Kim's intestine 'cos I pushed it in so hard . . ." as they fantasised about what they would really like their love-life to be like.
It may well be true that intimate mouth contact can communicate these diseases but I think the research needs to be ratified.
I personally volunteer here and now to kiss as many young teenagers as the researchers can supply in the name of science.
What? No takers?
