There is no question that sex sells and that the message the media is sending to teens about sex is it’s no big deal. Just take a look at the lyrics to Mariah Carey’s new song, “Touch My Body.” “Touch my body, hold me on the floor, wrestle me around, play with me some more, touch my body, hold me on the bed I just want to make you feel like you never did…”
Yeah songs like this have great beats and they’re entertaining (they’re called “pop”ular songs for a reason) but teenagers need to realize that the message they are sending is that sex is a casual thing and everybody does it. Which is not true at all! The main goal of the music industry is to make money. And how are they going to do that? By targeting an audience that spends a TON of money each year on music…teenagers.
So what? Well…maybe you don’t think that the media influences you, but how is the media influencing your friends? Perhaps music is affecting the way you think about sex.
