| Abstract | The Internet is an important part of everyday life and many people also use it for activities connected to intimacy and sexuality. This essay describes the bricolage that adolescents collect every day from family, school, peer groups, and the Internet when searching for information connected to the sexual sphere. Nowadays a new socialization process, amplified by digital media, is present in adolescents’ life. This is a sort of auto-socialization process that allows them to construct knowledge through diverse, non-traditional sources of information. |
