The Power of Suggestion

Teenagers who watch a lot of television featuring flirting, necking, discussion of sex and sex scenes are much more likely than their peers to get pregnant or get a partner pregnant, according to the first study to directly link steamy programming to teen pregnancy.
Studies have found a link between watching television shows with sexual content and becoming sexually active earlier, and between sexually explicit music videos and an increased risk of sexually transmitted diseases. And many studies have shown that TV violence seems to make children more aggressive. But the new research is the first to show an association between TV watching and pregnancy among teens.
Washington Post report HERE

...sex on television can be a powerful tool for parents...problem is, parents don't recognize the opportunity for serious discussion about sex when it's presented...teens are naturally curious and horny...oh, and ignorant...talk to them and teach them to be safe...
