Does No Mean Yes?

Throughout the years the media has become a larger and larger force that can not be ignored. The internet is used by adults and adolescents alike, and although there are many benefits to using the internet, there are also many dangers. One of these dangers is the use of SEIM (Sexually Explicit Internet Material). As technology has become increasingly prevalent in our society, so has the use of SEIM. What are the repricussions of using SEIM? Are there positives? Are there negatives?

This study titled "The Influence of Sexually Explicit Internet Material and Peers on Stereotypical Beliefs About Women’s Sexual Roles: Similarities and Differences Between Adolescents and Adults" was written by two Ph.Ds for the "Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking"journal in 2011. 

In particular, this article focus' on the concept of "token resistance" to sex among women. Token resistance is the concept that a woman says no to sex when she actually intends to have sex. The argument is that SEIM provides a lot of exposure to token resistance among women, and that according to Social Cognitive Theory, adolescents and adults alike will acquire beliefs about token resistance as a result of SEIM. Social cognitive theory suggests that individuals observe their environment and acquire or modify mental representations of ideas and behaviors that are rewarded. Do you believe that this process is the same for both adolescents and adults, and that SEIM will affect them equally? Do you believe the token resistance is a reality and not just something we see through SEIM? Do you feel that token resistance to sex can be expressed through both men and women, or just women? How do you feel about SEIM and token resistance? There is plenty of room for discussion regarding this topic please feel free to respond.
