Sex from the Internet?

http://nymag.com/news/features/70977/

This is a simultaneously entertaining and disturbing article. It shows the gap between generations, and even the culture differences of a few years. The journalist interviewed young girls, ranging from 11-16 about their personal experiences with sexting, Facebook, omegle and so on. It shows how sexuality is becoming a game for these teens, where they push limits and test boundaries for a laugh. It's really creepy to think of how easily these girls talk about their bodies and experiences not just with the journalist, but in their accounts of past experiences. The main point of this article seems to be that teens now are learning more about sex from the concentrated and fictional ideologies from the internet, and less from parents and after school specials, and sure as hell not in their schools.
