Screw Music

A shocking US study has apparently revealed the "news" that teenagers want to have sex. No, really.

And for some reason they are relating this to "degrading" and "sexual" song lyrics.

Now just hold on a second here.
Teenagers have been having sex (and wanting to have sex) since their hormones first kicked in. Straight, gay, black, white, deaf, blind - all of them want to, some of them do. What exactly does music have to do with it? I've wanted to do it as long as I can remember, but I don't think listening to Steven Tyler's or David Coverdale's innuendo made much of a difference.

Did teenagers not want to do the nasty before mainstream music talked about it? I'm pretty sure it's age-related more than culture-related. I'm reasonably confident that teenagers have been getting busy from as young an age as they could manage for as long as there has been busy to get.

I might be pushing the old logic boat out a little far here, but could it possibly be that hormone-pumped teens want to have sex and are merely seeking out music that they can relate to?

Yet another (no doubt) expensive and time-consuming study that's basically shown nothing new with stuff that anyone with an ounce of common sense could work out.
