Thinking about sexuality? “Me too.”

In today’s news, the Chronicle of Higher Education writes about a confessional web site started by students at Duke University to dispell the myth of “effortless perfection” at that institution. The blog, “Me Too,” allows students to express their concerns and to hear from other students who may have similar experiences.

Perhaps it’s no surprise—but it’s striking all the same—that a lot of posts relate to sexuality. When I checked this afternoon, more than half of the most recent comments dealt with relationships (1, 2, 3), body image (1, 2), sexual orientation (1, 2, 3, 4), or sexual violence.

Students at any college or university can contribute to the blog, and readers can comment on any existing post. “But,” according to the Chronicle, “the only response allowed is ‘Me too.’”
