Another day, another study that indicates teens who pledge abstinence engage in more risky sexual behavior.
... Overall, pledgers were six times more likely to have oral sex than teens who have remained abstinent but not as part of a pledge.
The pledging group was also less likely to use condoms during their first sexual experience or get tested for STDs, the researchers found.
