REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, NEW YORK - A new study shows that nearly one in 10 adolescents had a homosexual partner. This amount is almost twice as many previous studies.According to a study in 2002 Vermont, Massachusetts, only 5 percent to 6 percent of teens had a homosexual partner. In the new study, 9.3 percent of teens say they have it."Clearly there is an increasing number of homosexuals among teenagers, and we must recognize the vulnerability that may be associated with behavior," said Dr. Susan Black, an assistant commissioner at the Ministry of Health of New York. Black, who was not involved with the study, referring to the level of condom use and unwanted sex among teenagers with homosexual partners in this research.New research published in the journal Pediatrics, involved 17 thousand adolescents in New York City. The study found that teens who have sex with their own gender only or with both sexes are more likely to engage in risky sexual behaviors, putting themselves at greater risk for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, half of the 18 million new cases of STDs that occur each year occur among people aged 15 to 24. Risky behavior includes not using condoms during sex and forced sex. More than half of bisexual boys do not use condoms, compared with five children of heterosexual men. The difference was not quite as large for girls bisexual and heterosexual, but that is the same: about half of bisexual girls do not use condoms, compared with 30 percent of heterosexual girls.
About a third of bisexual teens had had sex at some point in their lives, much higher than 6 percent of children of heterosexual men and 16 percent of heterosexual girls who have that experience.
