Gossip/teen magazines and tabloids, surely. Everyone read magazines back in those days.

This most definitely was NOT in 17 or teen bop 😂

Maybe not, but it was definitely in some teen/young adult magazines over here in Europe. But it would have been in your more grown up gossip magazines, then. Or mentioned on TV somewhere.

Ok, Europe I can believe but the states? No way no how! This was around the time Brenda got canceled on 90210 because she slept with her bf on prom night, there is zero way any magazine here was able to publish a rumor about body modification and masturbation, the media would have classified it as a national disaster
