Adolescent Sexuality by Dr. Karen Rayne

This blog is an on-going conversation about adolescent sexuality, and all of the nuances and social issues inherent to the topic. I believe…that parents have to talk to their kids about sex…that everyone has sex, and should therefore know about sex…that sex is not all bad, even for teenagers. Read more on what I believe in my This I Believe page.

 

SXSW and a Guest Blogger

I am delighted to be attending SXSW Interactive starting tomorrow, Friday March 7th here in Austin. I intend to fully submerge myself in the rocketing pace of conversation, presentations, panels, and swag that is SXSW Interactive!

Among the really interesting events I will be taking part are the following:

  • What Teens Want Online and On Their Phones
  • Sexual Ethics, Interactivity, and Virtual Worlds,
  • What Teens Want - In a Game
  • Are You Smarter Than A Wired Teen?
  • Some Serious Fun: Interactive Media for Children

I plan on returning (psychically, of course, since I won’t actually be leaving Austin for this one…) with lots of fabulous information and ideas I can bring to you here on my blog and in person through my classes and individual consulting.

So, in the meantime between now and Wednesday morning when I will re-emerge, I have a guest blogger to keep you busy and thinking. This particular guest blogger is different from my past guests, in both her personal experiences and perspectives. While I do not always see eye-to-eye with her about issues of sex, sexuality, or sex education, I do think it is important to listen and work to understand others’ perspectives on these issues. I hope you will find her stories engaging and her questions thought-provoking. I will be checking-in from time to time, and as always, please feel free to e-mail me with thoughts and questions.

    Karen, I’m especially interested to hear your feedback on the “What Teens Want” game. And I look forward to your guest blogger as well. Since I agree with everything you’ve said so far, it might be fun to hear a perspective that I don’t agree with for a change!

    Mrs. Y and Margaret,

    I am interested to hear how you feel about my guest blogger! I think what she has to say is valuable, and I don’t claim to know whether or not you will agree or disagree with any of it. :)
