What Will Be The Outcome For The Hyper Sexualized Society?

I'll give you that television and music have become more wanton and lascivious; there is a big difference in content between Kim Carnes and Lil' Kim. However, I think you're on the wrong track in thinking that kids have more sex today than when you were growing up. Any statistics for this would be tough to look at because of the way sexual stigmas seem to present themselves in the misreporting of information. Sex has been seen as such a negative thing that it's hard to get reliable information since people feel ashamed or looked down upon when conveying details.

Could it be that it seems that kids are having more sex because it's not as hush-hush as it used to be? A lot of people think that there are more gay, lesbian, and bisexual people out there than ever before, but maybe we should realize that society has slowly shifted so that more feel comfortable coming out. The numbers we know about are up, but that doesn't mean the numbers themselves are up.

Whatever the case may be, let's just hope that all those kids you're referring to are given positive, reliable information about their sexuality and the sexuality of the world around them so they make well-informed decisions throughout their lives.
