More on the tech sex ed front: The Birds and The Bees line, a service advertised on MySpace, where adult sex educators can answer teens’ questions via text. Predictably conservatives are throwing anger around on the premise that the program is run without teens needing permission from their parents to participate. Which is precisely the point. Really, the dodgiest thing about the line is that staffers are apparently turning to urbandictionary.com to answer their own questions: about teen sex slang.
