How is the internet affecting us? Recenly we held a public form (with LifeLube) on the topic on how online communites, podcasts, forums, blogs and videos are changing not only the way we see ourselves, but how the general public thinks about queer folks.
Let’s face it. There’s a whole lot of crazy on the internet, and what seemed far out a decade ago is kind of boring by today’s standards. Your sex life is probably not as weird as you thought it once was. That’s progress.
On today’s show we’re revising the topic of the impact of the internet with Dr. Brian Mustanski, an Assistant Professor at the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
Brian developed one of the first online studies of gay lesbian and bisexual people and is now working on “Keep it Up” an online HIV infection prevention program for young men.
The majority of his work focuses on the development of “sexual minority” people and how the Internet affects us. Listen as we talk about internet addiction, the risks of online dating and hookups and what science has taught us about human sexuality in the past year.
