Sexualization Harms Girls and Guys
If you think society's sexual obsession is only harming us guys, think again. In this challenging commentary, Rachel Bell of the Independent (a British newspaper) looks at the consequences of our sexually charged culture on the psyches of young women and young men. It's not a pretty picture.
While Christian men often focus on the challenge of living purely in an overtly sexual world, it's not as common that we think about the damage done to our women, and how we contribute to the problem by being consumers of sex in the media.

I for one am tired of endless sex sequences in the movies. Not only do I feel either turned off or turned on (equally embarassing), but I have a twelve year old daughter, and in the middle of enjoying an otherwise enjoyable comedy or action adventure movie, suddently there is a jarring sex sequence, sometimes out of nowhere - I've come to hate this. These are on our home TV. For some reason, it's come to pass that this is on normal television. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it.
There's nothing wrong with an implied sexual sequence or kissing and hugging etc., but what we've been seeing lately on standard TV equates to X-rated movie stuff - and this is in R-rated or otherwise supposedly not that kid-unfriendly movies.
What gives here?
