A Colorado teenager continues to recover from severe injuries after she performed oral sex on seventeen men for her seventeenth birthday.

Jennifer Swann was celebrating her seventeenth birthday with friends and family when she was told by her brother that the age of consent for sexual activity was 17 in Colorado.

Under the influence of alcohol and in a giddy mood, Swann was later convinced by friends to perform oral sex on seventeen men, ranging from 16 to 45 years of age, to commemorate her 17th birthday.

“I thought it would just be fun to do something special for my seventeenth birthday, something I would always remember for the rest of my life,” Swann told reporters, visibly regretful.

“I am going public with my tragic story so to warn other boys and girls not to try this at home, and certainly not on their birthday. It is a bad idea and it can have serious health repercussions,” she told reporters.

Swann also admits she has developed swallowing difficulties, bite and jaw deformities, as well as chewing difficulties since the incident.

“I keep drooling and have difficulty closing my mouth. When I eat I can’t hold the food inside my mouth, I have to store in the cheeks instead,” she added.

Swann plans to become a public speaker in the near future and wishes to reach out to preschools and high schools all over the country to warn children and teenagers of the harmful effects of practicing extreme oral sex.

By telling her story, Swann hopes to turn this tragic event into something positive and to help and inspire other youths around the country and the world to perform oral sex in a healthier fashion.
