Study Claims Link Between Raunchy Lyrics and Teen Sex

I hate when they do these studies.....you can find links between anything but some researchers take a relationship between two variables and turn it into a cause and effect type deal. Anyway let's take a look at the article....

Whether it's hip-hop, rap, pop or rock, much of popular music aimed at teens contains sexual overtones. Its influence on their behavior appears to depend on how the sex is portrayed, researchers found.

Songs depicting men as "sex-driven studs," women as sex objects and with explicit references to sex acts are more likely to trigger early sexual behavior than those where sexual references are more veiled and relationships appear more committed, the study found.

just an idea, but what if it's the parents? I mean perhaps kids who don't listen to "raunchy" songs, don't because their parents won't allow them.....maybe they're strict.....and I'm sure it's not just in the music department either, but strict in all areas of life....not listening to dirty music and not having sex may just be a result of strict parents.....anyway my point is there are a million different ways to explain the connection. Anywho there's more.....

Teens who said they listened to lots of music with degrading sexual messages were almost twice as likely to start having intercourse or other sexual activities within the following two years as were teens who listened to little or no sexually degrading music.

Among heavy listeners, 51 percent started having sex within two years, versus 29 percent of those who said they listened to little or no sexually degrading music.

51 percent of heavy listeners started having sex within two years!?! I thought 50 % of teens were having sex anyway?

I once had this friend in high school....she came from a super conservative, super religious family. She listened to country music, never any "sexually charged" rap or hip-hop music, and by god she was the biggest slut I ever met! just goes to show....

oh by the way, I also want to do my part to corrupt the youth of today, so here's a classic going out to all those fornicating teens




the song may be a censored version....but we all know what the real lyrics are

my neck.....my back ......
