2 reasons y teens r more accepting of losing their virginity before marriage: 1. Our culture, esp. the media, promotes sex. Add peer pressure and the result is that teens see and hear about sex all the time. They start to think most people are doing it and they must be uncool or abnormal if they’re still a virgin. 2. Fornication is increasingly accepted as more people view sex as more than just consummation of marriage and a way to make babies. #2 is fine as long as people are responsible about sex, but #1 increases irresponsibility. Possible solutions r getting the media to change & sex ed that promotes abstinence (not abstinence-only) and shows reality, which is that most teens aren’t doing it, there are many risks to sexual activity, and foreplay (esp. combined w/ drugs/alcohol) can easily escalate into unintended/unwanted intercourse.

(To Brad) Some reasons why people oppose porn (not in any particular order): 1. Infidelity. Sensing a lack of loyalty when partner masturbates while looking at or thinking about someone else. 2. Insult. Feeling inadequate when partner needs sexual stimuli from other sources. 3. Unfair expectations. Feeling pressured to look or act like a porn star when partner likes porn. 4. Degradation, esp. of women. ‘Repeated exposure to erotic films featuring quick, uncommitted sex also tends to decrease attraction for one’s partner, increase acceptance of extramarital sex and of women’s sexual submission to men, and increase men’s perceiving women in sexual terms.’ 5. Desensitization & distorted perception of reality. Studies show in increased acceptance of rape myths & decreased sensitivity about sexual coercion/violence after seeing it repeatedly in porn and general media. 6. Increased sexual harassment/abuse & rape. Worldwide, there’s more rape wherever & whenever more porn is available. Lab experiments show that “exposure to violent pornography increases punitive behavior toward women.” (Quotes from David Myers, Social Psychology, 2002)
