To follow up on “You’re doing it wrong”…

…comes a followup to an NPR story about how teenagers are learning about sex from porn. We all know how much I’m all for teh pr0n, but actually thinking you can learn something useful from it?

This came up because of a piece I heard on the NPR radio show, “This American Life.” The program was on the topic of “talking to kids,” and it had a whole segment on talking to kids and teenagers about sex. The entire segment was excellent . . . but the part that jumped out at me was the teenagers saying that they didn’t have good information about sex. Specifically, they didn’t have good information about the actual mechanics of sex, what goes where and how.

And so they looked at porn.

And I didn’t know whether to vomit, throw things, or cry.

I think this explains pretty much every picture from a Greek-system party, half of Flickr, and why heading up to the local college campus in the springtime is better than a $500/hr Las Vegas escort.
