Digital office sentimental: The search of the internet as an aid to love relationships

This paper aims to discuss the search of the Internet as an aid to love relationships, with the object of analysis a site whose content ranges from articles, personal opinions, exchange of experiences or even advice to the public, which is characterized as a kind of contemporary version of office sentimental similar to those seen in other media. In print media, radio and television, the search for guidelines was attended by professionals in the field of psychology and psychiatry to discuss the conflicts and problems of relationships of others. However, the Internet changes this situation, since the training to produce a site or join a forum is not necessarily required. Taking into account these considerations, we seek to discuss the following issues: The Internet has changed the direction to search for love relationships? To what extent does the specialist, focused on a professional profile in other media, takes on new meaning with the use of the Internet? How is the relationship between the public and "advisor ", and the relationship between them in the exchange of experiences through forums? The internet would have facilitated the production of counter-hegemonic discourses on love relationships?

Thus, the work focuses on one of the sites that make up my doctoral research: www.sexoerelacionamentos.com.br. This is an information portal focused on topics related to sexuality and relationships that she has two years of existence, with an audience around 319,675 visits per month. In order to check the settings in the Internet search takes for help sessions I will specifically focus on presenting guidelines to relationships, written by professionals in the field of psychology that receive love problems of the public by e-mail, as well as an online discussion forum that also make up the site.
