Hi guys - we're looking for a teen sex columnist for our online magazine. It would pay 100 bi-weekly. This is proving to be a bit controversial I'd like to post our call to action here and invite people to weigh in:
Teenagers have plenty of good reasons to hide their beliefs about sexuality from adults, but one thing’s clear: teens are deeply affected by sexuality – their own, that of their peers and the stuff saturating media. Orato.com wants to hire a teen sex columnist to be a voice of Generation Net.
Subjects llike the latest Britney Spears video are talked about incessantly in media, but less is heard from teens themselves about how Spears’ provocative dress (or undress) translates in the high school hallway. Orato.com will provide a platform where teens can respond to the pressures they face to grow up fast and the conflicts they feel those days when they just want to be a kid.
“Sexuality hits a young person like a ton of bricks. And it’s a jungle out there,” says Orato.com’s Editor in Chief Paul Sullivan.” We hope that teenagers will see Orato as a safe place to talk about this most intimate human experience.”
Teens have always had a sexual identity, whether it’s abstinence or experimentation. What has changed definitively is the world in which teens grow up. Orato.com will open the door to a straight up look at what this means, and the only way to get it straight is from the mouths of teens.
So, if you are an outspoken teen who can write, isn’t afraid to talk about sexuality and has an honest relationship with your parents (who must give their express written and verbal consent), contact heatheratorato.com. Orato wants you to write a weekly column, which will be featured on our Love & Sex channel and also promoted throughout the online community.
To protect your privacy, you can use an alias, and Orato.com will have a sex education health counselor ready to weigh in when things get touchy. (No pun intended) The point is, the floor is yours, so the adult moderators will stand back and give you a space to take the reigns. Just like at the school dance, you choose the music, we chaperone…and listen.
