New Study Links Music to Teen Sex
Parents have another compelling reason to monitor the music their teens are consuming. A new study conducted by the University of Pittsburgh indicates teenagers who listen to sexually aggressive lyrics are twice as likely to have sexual intercourse.
The lead researcher of the study, Dr. Brian A. Primack, said, "This study demonstrates that, among this sample of young adolescents, high exposure to lyrics describing degrading sex in popular music was independently associated with higher levels of sexual behavior.
"In fact, exposure to lyrics describing degrading sex was one of the strongest associations with sexual activity...These results provide further support for the need for additional research and educational intervention in this area."

Just thought I would let y'all know that Texas is in the process of considering a resolution, asking the US Government to better protect us online from indecency! I am so proud of our good state. The resolution passed in the committee with a unanimous vote and will go out on the House floor next week. See http://cp80southlake.blogspot.com
