Where do people prefer to look for information about sex?

Asked by DrC (945points) February 4th, 2010

Where do most people look for information if they have questions or problems with their sex life? Books? Magazines? Websites? How do people feel assured that they are getting the correct information?

What kind of information do you want DrC?

I ask my wife. She tells me what I need to know and what I don’‘t need to know. After 28 years of marriage I know everything and nothing.

Sex isn;t so complicated that we need to be worried about where we get the information from, the info you have here in front of you is a good place to start. try not to put so much pressure on your self ( that is fi your the one with the prob ). Sex should be fun, first of all, not a chore or a nightmare. it should flow like water, just relax. unless you have a very serious problem, then i would advise profeesional help fron a sex therapist.

I would ask friends, or talk about it with my boyfriend, instead of relying on sources which may not fill the often complex needs that such situations usually have, a lot more so than girly magazines or famous talk show chicks may have us believe.

On the other hand, that might be why I don’t have a boyfriend anymore haha.

I talk to my husband and to my best friend. They talk to me. If I don’t know something specific, I google it – but if the problem is between my husband and myself, no other sources are necessary – we must work on it together.

The web is my #1 resource. And the gutter.
Honestly, I know everything. I am that in touch with myself.

“How do people feel assured that they are getting the correct information?”
Practice, practice, practice. Practice makes perfect.

One the best sex jokes i’ve ever heard, enjoy!

“A man boarded an airplane and took his seat. As he settled in, he glanced up and saw the most beautiful woman boarding the plane. He soon realized she was heading straight towards his seat. As fate would have it, she took the seat right beside his.Eager to strike up a conversation he blurted out, “Business trip or pleasure?” She turned, smiled and said, “Business. I’m going to the Annual Nymphomaniacs of America Convention in Chicago.”He swallowed hard. Here was the most gorgeous woman he had ever seen sitting next to him, and she was going to a meeting of nymphomaniacs.Struggling to maintain his composure, he calmly asked, “What’s your business role at this convention?”“Lecturer,” she responded. “I use information that Ihave learned from my personal experiences to debunk some of the popular myths about sexuality.”“Really?” he said. “And what kind of myths are there?”“Well, she explained, “one popular myth is that African American men are the most well-endowed of all men, when in fact it is the Native American Indian who is most likely to possess that trait.Another popular myth is that Frenchmen are the best lovers, when actually it is the men of Jewish descent who are the best. I have also discovered that the lover with absolutely the best stamina is the Southern Redneck.”Suddenly the woman became a little uncomfortable and blushed. “I’m sorry,” she said, “I shouldn’t really be discussing all of this with you. I don’t even know your name.” “Tonto,” the man said, “Tonto Goldstein, but my friends call me Bubba.” ”

@BoBo1946 I was interested in hearing where people feel comfortable in going for info. I am a sex therapist and it seems that when people have a difficulty or a question about their sex life, they will put off going to see a sex therapist for awhile (and usually until a problem has been going on for some time), so I am curious what other sources they try first.
