Teenagers 'can be corrupted' by Hollywood sex scenes
The Telegraph ^ | 7/19/2012 | Andrew Hough

Watching sex scenes in Hollywood films can make children more promiscuous and sexually active from a younger age, a new study has suggested.

Psychologists concluded that teenagers exposed to more sex on screen in popular films are likely to have sexual relations with more people and without using condoms.

The study, based on nearly 700 popular films, found that watching love scenes could "fundamentally influence" a teenager's personality . . .

Dr O'Hara added: “These movies appear to fundamentally influence their personality through changes in sensation-seeking, which has far-reaching implications for all of their risk-taking behaviours.”

A previous survey of films from 1950 to 2006 found that 84 per cent of movies contain sexual content.

In the internet age, teenagers see more hardcore online than at the movies.

This study is out of date.

I recently discovered the world of K-Drama (Korean one season shows), especially the romantic comedies.

I like the romance better than anything on US television. The closest thing to sex is a morning after scene where shoulders are shown (some married couples are in matching pajamas). The raciest so far had a guy in boxers getting out of bed and putting his pants on. That’s all you get. Female lead characters do turn down their partners and waiting until marriage is as common as sleeping together as engaged couples or seriously dating couples. The only one night stand (which really wasn’t) had an ugly aftermath.

Because there is no focus on bed scenes like in the U.S., there is a lot more sensuality, romance, and conflict. The
characters seem much more respectful of their bodies and sex in general. I wish we had a TV station that aired these. I bet they’d have quite a cult following.

Marx loathed the Natural Family because it takes loyalty from the State

he didn't have the discipline to support one or keep faithful to his wife. He needed a way to justify impregnating the maid after all.

I’d say that’s pretty much a certainty.

You are exactly right. Evil people are deeply disturbed and angry (rebelling against God’s design of Nature)-—only God can remove that anger and hatred, and since Marx rejected God-—he hated and was trying to destroy and enslave as he justified his evil actions by philosophy.

The Leftists are all about ejecting God so they can do whatever their urges dictate=-and they want power over the masses. The Master/Slave society, with the One Worlders with the only freedom and use of the environment. Everyone else are drones to provide for their and their “families” lavish, sick lifestyles.

Marx is all about power and evil.

Not just teenagers. My wife and her girlfriends went to see Magic Mike. I called the theater the next day and asked what a season pass would run.

***You wouldn't believe what happened to me during and after “Bye-Bye Birdie”. ***

Years ago I slipped away from home and went to the movies, something I had not done in years!

I do remember the coming attractions trailer was THE CINCINNATI KID with Ann Margret.

My heart raced! I got sweaty! I was turned on for weeks. I never saw the movie, My heart could not take it.

40 years later I see the same trailer for THE CINCINNATI KID on TCM. Ann Margret was still just as hot, but then I noticed,

No racing heart, no sweat pouring off me, no turn on for weeks.

At that moment I knew I was over the hill so I got me a reservation at the local old folks home. I am now waiting till old age catches up with me so I can turn myself in.

The sad thing is that for too many people, this is actually a controversial finding.

Like somehow, telling a generation of impressionable kids that everybody is having sex with everybody else won’t in any way make them more likely to give in to unwarranted sexual advances, more forward in attempting to sexualize their relationships, and less likely to think there are negative consequences.

But i can guarantee you that for the left, if you told them you were going to take one week of the TV schedule, and have every family pray over dinner and go to church, the left would go apoplectic about how you would “brainwash” people.

I want to know what they’re defining as sexual content. I’m having a hard time believing 84% of movies have what normal people consider sexual content. Really hardly any of the movies I see do, and I see a lot of movies.

There are some cultural differences but the good ones are pretty good.

The crap that passes for pop music today is probably more harmful. Every song is about going to the club and getting as much booty as possible.

If you are looking for something for teens, I’d start with You’re Beautiful, Goong (Palace), or Boys Over Flowers. Adults, I’d recommend Pasta or Secret Garden.
