Is it true that part of the reason sex is publicized is because there is a multi-million dollar industry?

Question

I mean, sex education, the stuff on movies....

Is PART of the reason because there is such support from the contraceptives industry involved?

If so, as much as people have freedom, I urge us to think of the children.

Is it true and possible that sex education, contrary to popular belief, can break down the natural barriers that arise from awkwardness teens feel about the subject in the first place, leaving them open to experimentation?

Is it also true that widespread pornography encourages experimentation and even in some cases, sex crimes among kids?

I am not condemning anyone but I am really concerned. (okay, another question) Is the blase attitude the general public having on sexuality really SOCIALLY healthy?
Because from what I've seen and heard from people, particularly teachers, it doesn't seem that way.

Thank you. Your opinions matter.

wrathofkublakhan: Interesting perspective. Thanks. I don't question the need for parents to tell their kids about sex. I'm more concerned about the wisdom in giving too much away too soon.

Oh.... Especially when you tell a guy TOO much aout girl stuff and vice versa, thereby overcoming the natural barrier about awkwardness they might feel about trying.

I think it gets so much exposure because people are alot more jaded nowadays than they used to be. Therefore hardly anything shocks them anymore. But even so, America is still very repressed sexually when compared to other countries.

If pornography encourages kids to experiment with sex (which I don't believe), then it is the parents' fault for not enforcing any rules on them. Kids will be kids though, but a suprising number of parents expect society to parent for them and then either get upset when their kids turn out to be the way they are due to lack of supervision or turn a blind eye to it.

Sex education is the parents' responsibility, not the schools. However a number of parents refuse to do so, some citing religious beliefs as their reasoning. I have a distant cousin who never received any sex education because her parents' religion deemed it sinful. So she didn't realize how easily she could get pregnant or what all was involved until it was too late and she was shunned by her family.

Well, even if it was not so heavily publicized, it would be going on just as much. I think it's better that it is (aside from it being a multi-million dollar corporation), we are embracing what our bodies enjoy, as long as it is between consensual adults.

Do you really think kids are not, and have not experimented early as even children?

I think it is also better that children are taught about it. Back when my parents were children, there were so many rape and molestation cases from within families. Now children can know what is wrong, and possibly prevent it. There are also more laws out there that are strict and punishable. I think sometimes they should be harsher though.

Pornography is not a new thing either, it is just that it became popular as print evolved. We have magazines for everything now. Pornography has been in scripture and books throughout the ages in many different cultures.

Answer 3

Wow -- a giant question, let's try and tackle this sucker.

Yes -- sex is big money, even your with your question proves we have intense interest in sex at every layering. Sex sells, pure and simple.

No -- I don't think it's a conspiracy by the contraceptives industry.

My fear -- that parents are protecting their children by sheltering them from information about sex. Kids even as old as 8 years old are incredibly interested in sex.
If the parents are not candid from an early time, then the kids interest will lead them to research. This leads to the Internet, which leads to pornography.
I think they then will view what is done in pornography will believed to be the standard!! This is so wrong, warps the kids views of sex and I blame each and every parent for "protecting" their children.

To sum up -- it's our society that as made "sex at 13" taboo, not the kids bodies. They are maturing whether you like it or not, and they feel that they can handle it. If you don't educate them, they'll find out for themselves -- in all the wrong places.

Answer 5

yes, sex sells, but that is because it is a natural instinct for adult and pre adult animals (of which homo sapien is a part of). we as a nation have been so sexually repressed (just look at many state laws forbidding certain positions, for goodness sake) that it was only a matter of time before it happened.
