ABC News previewed a short clip of Oral Sex is the New Goodnight Kiss a while back.   The documentary captures pre-teen and teen-age girls discussing oral sex – and prostitution – as casually as the weather.   Ordinary girls from middle- and upper-middle class families who see no harm in offering their bodies for money, homework, or a new handbag.
