Where's the Beef?

Putting my researcher hat on:

A news headline boldly proclaims that "Teens turn to Internet for sex ed." I would like to think that is true, but how do we know that for certain? This particular feature offers no evidence, simply stating that online sex ed is popular because there are symposia about it (note: a good friend of mine offers a symposium on barnyard animals in colonial art -- does that make IT a hot topic?). I can't find any information about searching for sex ed information online from Pew (the leader in all stats related to teens and technology, IMO); the only stat I have ever uncovered is from 2001 (ancient in internet time); according to the Kaiser Family Foundation, 44% of teens have looked up information have looked up information on birth control, STDs, or pregnancy at least once. We need to update this stat and get at a broader understanding of how the internet is used to access information and support related to sexual health, sexuality, and sexual development before we continue throwing around allegations of its widespread popularity.
