Tuesday, May. 11, 2004; Sexual propaganda does affect the youth mentally and physically, according to a new study by The Medical Institute for Sexual Health.
Teenagers who are exposed to media carrying sexual messages have different attitudes toward the behavior. "They have more permissive attitudes towards premarital sexual activity,"said study author Joe McIlhaney,"and then they think that having sex is beneficial."
Media nowadays contain many scenes or references to sexual material. For example, in the television, cable TV and music videos category of the study, 6.7 scenes included sexual topics in any given hour. One-third of shows with sexual content involve teenagers.
The brain development of adolescent teenagers encounter sexual material from the media will be different.
"The teen brain is malleable," McIlhaney said. "The nerve cells themselves physically grow different, depending on what they're exposed to."
