TV Makes Kids Have Sex

 Rosie sex scene
Doesn't this make you want to do it?

I found this article interesting today, "Study: Kids Who Watch Adult TV May Have Sex Earlier". Dr. Hernan Delgado, who headed the study said, "Television and movies are among the leading sources of information about sex and relationships for adolescents...Our research shows that their sexual attitudes and expectations are influenced much earlier in life."

I don't know why this article is now just making headlines...doesn't seem so 1960's? I feel the accompanying headline underneath this article should be, "Smoking Pot makes you hungry"...or "Having Sex Can Lead To Pregnancy"...why not spend their money on a more relevant study like "Blogging Can Lead To Obesity". --trust me, it can.

Repeat after me:

It's more than likely in this situation that both the tv-wathcing and the earlier sexual activity are both symptoms of a common cause, i.e. uninvolved parents.

Nads:

agreed
