So I’m in Denver, Colorado, staying at a hotel. And it’s weird, because when I’m scrolling through feministing , my fave website in the world, the computer keeps blocking me. The reason? “teen sex keyword activated.” Which is pretty amusing, since, accordding to a poll by NBC and People magazine, nearly 3 in 10 young teens are sexually active (yes, I used a direct quote from the article title. Sue me).
Interestingly enough, the hotel did not prevent me from researching this statistic.
So what’s up, uniguest, service powering my hotel computer? Is teen sex really that unacceptable? And, more importantly, will censoring it really make it go away?
