Sexual Content on Prime-Time Programming

After reading the article by Amir Hestroni, I came to the conclusion that there is too much sex shown on television. When I watch television I might not pay too much attention because I know actually what sex is and the difference between safe and unsafe sex. I have younger siblings and there has been plenty of times when their flipping through the channels and stop because they see something sexual and want to watch it. A lot of younger kids and teenagers pick up on what they see regularly and television is the most common vision.

16 and pregnant on MTV is a perfect example of how teens are introduced to sex at a very young age. I personally dislike that show very much. It sends off the message that it is okay to be 16 and have sex and have a child at a very young age. There are many teen girls who watch that show and because of that they might think it's a good idea to have sex and make little cute babies, but in reality it's never as easy as it looks on television. What are your thoughts of 16 and pregnant? Do you believe this gives young teens the idea of having children at a young age?
