Abstract

Recently, the narrative of sexuality is close to everyday life. Everyone has an opinion about sexuality and can easily express it in the cyber space. The purpose of this study is to analyze netizen's discourses on sexuality in internet. This study consists of two parts: One is to classify categories of discourses on sexuality. Four categories are extracted through 'The Grounded Theory'. They are namely, "Individual-openness", "Individual-not openness", "social-openness" and "social-not openness". The other is to make discourse-analysis in the basis of category-analysis. In here, the oppression structure based on dichotomy of women/men contributes to maintenance of governing discourse, being geared with another oppression structure like a dichotomy of adult/children. These results suggests we can understand the subject well, making an approach with various viewpoints. For this, we need cross-disciplinary study free from the positivistic quantification of the variable and operational definition, the conventional psychological methodology.
