It’s a snow day, so I thought I’d read a bit about sex and technology. Luckily, The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy and Cosmogirl.com were there to provide me with some light reading on the subject.
The basics:
themselves.
Duh.
Tell me more.
ally suggestive content has an impact on their behavior.
But why?
posting sexually suggestive content. Most say it is a “fun
and flirtatious” activity.
Ah-ha!
Let’s sum this up: Teens and twenty-somethings are engaging in sexually curious behaviors that could lead to difficult and potentially dangerous choices. Their reasons are mixed, but can be broken down to the basic response of “It’s fun.”
The report might as well have been called, “Yup, it’s all pretty much the same. Adolescents like the sexy.”
Ignore the technology. This is about educating kids about sex. I’m guessing many will look at the survey results and argue the ghost is in the machine.
They’re right, if they realize the machine, not unlike soylent green, is people.
