A good article on Sexual Content in the Movies

(from Zenit.org)- The media really does influence adolescents' behavior, and early exposure to sexual con- tent in the movies leads them to commence sexual activity at an earlier age and to take more risks. This was the conclusion of a study just published in the journal Psychological Science, titled Greater Exposure to Sexual Content in Popular Movies Predicts Earlier Sexual Debut and Increased Sexual Risk Taking. It started by noting how it is documented that the media influences adolescent behavior in such areas as alcohol and tobacco use, but that less is known about its impact on sexual behavior. Starting sexual activity at an earlier age is associated with a greater number of partners and an increased risk of sexually transmitted diseases. More than 9 million new cases of sexual diseases occur annually among ado- lescents in the , the paper observed. Popular movies provide adolescents with a wealth of sexu- al exposure, much of which may promote risk behaviors, the authors commented. They cited a survey that looked at movies released from 1950 to 2006. It showed that more than 84% con- tained some sexual content. In addition the survey found that the level of sexual explicitness of PG-13 and R- rated movies has increased in the past decade. Not only are adolescents influenced by what they see, but one survey found that 57% of those aged 14-16 use the media as a primary source of sexual information. The study published in Psychological Science looked at movie sexual exposure (MVE) in those aged under 16. A longitudinal study was carried out over the period June 2003 to October 2009. It consisted in a random tel- ephone survey of 6,522 adolescents, aged 10 to 14. After the initial contact they were followed up three sub- sequent times. They found that higher exposure to explicit sexual content was an accurate predictor of riskier sexual behavior. The authors said that this study confirms previous ones and also found that this exposure has a lasting influence on risky sexual behaviors in adulthood. Reducing adolescents’ viewing of sexually ex- plicit content would delay their sexual debut and also reduce their engagement in risky sexual behaviors later in life, they concluded.

Do you know and regulate what your children are viewing? In our sexually permissive culture, this is a big question parents need to ask themselves. And we all need to ask; do we regulate what we see as well? Chil- dren aren’t the only ones affected by a sexually saturated society. Are we aware how this rails against the beauty and dignity of our authentic God-given sexuality and how destructive it is to healthy and loving rela- tionships between men and women?

God bless you, Father Byerley
