We live in a sexually saturated culture.  Like all young men are at a certain age, I wanted to explore and understand.  I read literature, watched tv.  I have always held strong sexual ethics.  Lately, however, I have  been troubled.  I feel as though I have been corrupted by it.  I have read many fictions eroticse rape as a liberating sexual experience.  Books such as Lolita manipulate your thought processes to see through the mind of a pedophile.  Television bombards constantly with images and/or suggestions of sexual violence or perversion. Society says these are just fantasies to be enjoyed.  Yet, in these fantasies, am I not conditioning my mind to believe such things are alright?  Am I not betraying the very principles I have so long held dear.

Yes, more mature in that they accept that sex happens, that "Abstinance" is not a viable long term option, that birth control is not a tool of the devil, and that sexual orientation is not conected to morality.

In short, most modern developed nations know that if you get laid often enough, you're much less likely to do something bat shit crazy.

But as for them having a less sexuallized media, google "german sprite commercial" and re-think that.

Well said. I agree 110%
