Water is Wet - another study on sex

This one is useful in that it confirms common sense, i.e., something denied by our liberal shapers of culture.

Two recent studies led by RAND Health behavioral scientist Rebecca Collins examined the impact of TV sex on teenagers’ sexual beliefs and activities. The results supported the view that watching shows with sexual content may influence teen sexual behavior, but also found that some viewing effects can be positive.

Watching TV shows with sexual content apparently hastens the initiation of teen sexual activity.

Sexual talk on TV has the same effect on teens as depictions of sex.

Shows with content about contraception and pregnancy can help to educate teens about the risks and consequences of sex–and can also foster beneficial dialogue between teens and parents.

That last point is obviously a nod toward liberal pieties, because - Lord knows - parents want nothing more than the opportunity to discuss the mechanics of sexual activity with their 13 year old sons and daughters, particularly when the discussion is foisted on them by our betters in Hollywood. 

Also, parents talking to their teens is such an obvious counterforce compared to peer pressure accelerted by the conventional wisdom dispensed by the media that sex is the summum bonum and anyone who isn't having sex is a loser.
