A New Sexual Revolution

Despite the sexual revolution of the 1960s and early 70’s, the fact remains, many Australians still feel that sex is a taboo. Each person has different sexual preferences and though there are those who are very vocal about their physical needs, there still are others who opt to keep silent for fear of being called vulgar.

Research indicates that another sexual revolution is well underway, as evidenced by the high rating of shows that have sex-related content. In a recent study conducted by Jean Twenge of San Diego University, it was found out that 50% of teenage girls are already having sex, and are also considered the leaders of the teen sexual revolution in the new world. The issue of oral sex is now seen in a new light as more and more teenagers no longer see it as disgusting. The trend shows that sex has moved past the boundaries of relationships, marriage and pleasure towards the quest for pleasure.

With the knowledge of teenage sex, how many parents have bothered to educate their children about the pros (if any) and cons of early sexual activities? Studies show that parents would largely rather pretend that their children remain ignorant of sex and talking about it would only increase their curiosity leading to greater experimentation.

But this is definitely not the case. Children can now access sites featuring couples having live sex, or a live sex show with hot models as stars. No, teenagers nowadays are no longer as innocent as we want them to be, and despite the many precautions parents take to prevent their children from sexy webcam chat rooms and club live sex, it just isn’t enough. Children still need to be educated by their parents. They need to know that they are not the only one experiencing things such as arousal or even masturbation. Children are confused and for them to be properly guided towards their societal roles, parents still play the biggest part of it.

The biggest problem for early teen lies in the fact that technically speaking, they still are children. Biologically, teenage girls are not yet equipped to bear healthy children. Aside from this, the spread of sexually transmitted diseases can easily affect teenagers. The majority of who refuse to follow the lessons taught in sexual education in regards to prevention of disease and teenage pregnancy.

People lay the blame of teenage pregnancy on the proliferation of sex-related media and easy access to porn sites. It is true that several studies have found a relationship between early sexual experimentation and sexual innuendos in TVs and movies. But hey, you can’t blame everything to media. True, the media is cluttered with so much sex-related content but still, parents are responsible for their kids and what influences they are exposed to. Leaving children uneducated and ill informed whilst at the same time they are bombarded with sexual orientated images in magazines and on TV without supervision is a recipe for disaster
