I went to a school with virtually no reproductive ed, and, growing up, Google was my primary source for learning about the facts of life. I have memories of sneaking into the computer room late at night to look up some unknown reference overheard on TV, and then stealthily deleting my search history before slipping back off to bed. (It wasn’t an ideal situation.)
Google (sadly) proved to be a good teacher for me, but I never left my searches imprinted for all the world to see, like some folks on Yahoo Answers. And now, thanks to them, we have some extreme (and funny) examples of people looking to the Internet for answers about HIV, pregnancy and other issues. Click here to read them, but beware:

I
really hope that these kids eventually went to a trusted adult and got the advice they needed. I also really, really hope that these questions were from teens, and not adults. Thanks, Yahoo Answers, for making me frightened for the educational future of humanity. Though hopefully these act as evidence for the fact that comprehensive sex ed is very important!

Man, the 18 year old who already has 2 kids. :/ But the last one is pretty funny. We had a ‘health’ class in highschool. But by then everybody pretty much knew what was going on. And the only sex lectures we got were, “Use a condom” and “Don’t get pregnant” Wonderful advice.

Some of these were clearly written for humor/trolling/boredom. Is it a sad thing that I actually remember answering one of these questions?

Oh my gosh! SMH at some of the crazy questions people ask.

Advantages of incest? Surely you jest. And masturbation? Not a problem unless the person has an addictive personality, and grows to prefer that over his/her mate. You’d be surprised how often that breaks up marriages.

LMAO.
seriously some people are so so so so so so so.. STUPID. but i guess there arent any stupid questions and people can answer just about anything.

@xsimplepleasuresx@xanga - Haha, which one?!
I like the 18 and pregnant again one. Especially because she answers her own question.

@xsimplepleasuresx@xanga - The footballer that questioned masturbation. I’m trying to remember if I answered it truthfully or told him that masturbation will make it fall off and then he wouldn’t be able to maintain his balance. I’m leaning towards the latter.

It’s funny, but really kind of sad. lol

@xsimplepleasuresx@xanga - lmao!
Yahoo is just fucking scary to anyone with a brain.
And I feel really bad for those kids.
