Call me crazy, but wouldn't a moral checkup alleviate this particular public health concern?

One in 13 teenage girls, aged 14 to 20, reported having a group-sex experience, with those young women more likely to have been exposed to pornography and childhood sexual abuse than their peers, according to a new study led by a Boston University School of Public Health (BUSPH) researcher.In a study published in the Journal of Urban Health: Bulletin of the New York Academy of Medicine, Emily Rothman, associate professor of community health sciences at BUSPH, and colleagues surveyed 328 females who had utilized a Boston-area community or school-based health clinic, to explore whether they had ever had sex with multiple partners -- either consensual or forced. The authors call this sexual experience "multi-person sex," or MPS, in order to underscore that it refers to any group sex experience on a continuum from gang rape to sex parties. Of the 7.3 percent who said they had group sex, more than half reported being pressured to engage in the group-sex situation. Forty-five percent reported a lack of condom use by a male participant during the most recent group-sex encounter. Participants with MPS experience also were more likely to report cigarette smoking, dating violence victimization, or ever being diagnosed with a sexually transmitted disease, the study found. |

5. When Jenny's father comes looking for you with a 12 gauge shotgun, you should ....
a. Stand up to him and tell him, Jenny deserved it.
b. Don't say a word, except "I want my lawyer." and flip the father your middle finger.
c. Drop your pants and kiss your ass goodbye.
That's the graduate level class....."Dealing With the Consequences". This is just a basic study of morals.
Goodness knows that if I tried to get too holier-than-thou, F1 would have "jumped" all over me for it.
Says the person with the PurpleLovin ID. You know once it turns red you should probably stop.
Okay...

My 10 year old enjoys watching the news with me but we can't because of the commercials for Calvin Klein, Dulce, VS, various dating sites, and now the www.buy.xxx campaign. It's really rather sad I can't watch a 5pm news broadcast without putting stuff in my son's head that I don't think he wants or is old enough for.
That would make for a good topic. I'll open another thread.

I don't mind changing the channel if the story is inappropriate, but I shouldn't have to do it for commercials. I'm all for personal freedom and capitalism which means I don't want to place restrictions on commercials, but I want stations to take some responsibility for the money the accept for advertising space.
Personally, I take issue with any sexual act that emerges from a trend, pressure, coercion or violence. I have a problem when any type of force is involved - however "mild" it may be - and I have an even bigger problem with it when you're talking about minors.
It's disturbing.
