Now if this isn't the
media acting as a super peer, I don’t know what is. I'm pretty
sure there's no one you could ask this question to without them laughing in
your face and thinking you're an idiot. I wouldn't dare ask my friends this, no
matter how experienced or smart i thought they were. It seems heterosexual
adolescents and adolescents in the LGBT community use the Internet in similar
ways when seeking information regarding sex.For LBGT individuals the media is used more frequently
than any face-to-face interpersonal relationships as a source of information
during the coming-out process (Bond et al., 2009). The majority of the
participants in the Bond et al. study (2009) use the Internet in their information
gathering, the majority of Internet users being younger. Similarly, adolescents
in both these groups are using the Internet to gather information related to
sex and relationships.
The internet is truly a priceless resource when it comes to seeking information about sex. There is a myriad of sexual situations or information that can not be put into magazines, movies or on television because it would result in an uproar from viewers and supporting advertisers. The internet can allow for questions to be answered anonymously, by those who have the answers. I'm pretty sure if you asked some adults the above Yahoo question they would tell the girl no but start to wonder themselves if it is truly possible. The first place they'd head to find the answer is the internet. It's surprising how common ridiculous questions such as this are asked on the internet. But I'm sure we'd rather have those who don't know the answer ask. The anonymity the internet allows makes it safe to ask questions and learn about sex. Who needs television to teach you when you can type in any question you have about sex and have it answered?
Being older and college educated, we may think this is a dumb question. But aren't we glad they asked? Can you imagine being an adolescent girl thinking you're going to give birth to a litter of puppies? Every itch you get you'd think it was fleas and begin to freak out more. There are many sex myths that people come up with and there are those that are widely held. The internet allows for those to be dispelled if someone is truly curious. Check out the link below for more odd, ridiculously hilarious sex questions. Some crazy questions are from adults as old as 30!
