Sex sells - will it ever slow down?

New Scientist: Teenagers Special: Going all the way (article)

Sex is such a vital part of society, I know so many people who look down on you for being a virgin. Its become a status icon, the more you do, the higher you are. Every car tv-ad comes equipped with a beautiful-busty-half-naked young lady, the latest channel Ten (Australian Free-to-Air TV Channel) ad for football is all focus on the latest player and how sexy he is.

Hollywood are worse, I can't watch a decent action/slasher/martial-arts flick without finding a sex scene. A friend once described sex in hollywood movies as: "Hi my names...*clothes off, in bed*."

Your thinking, "who cares - what's wrong with that - sex is apart of life." I hear you there, its far from an evil thing - God designed and created it afterall. But its become used by the commercial world. Socially its become as casual as going out for a drink, "I'll take a brumbee/brunette tonight thanks".

If you have a look at that article they are talking about reasons for teenagers having sex so early and STD and pregnancies as the result. The article shows so many ways of trying to solve the problem with sex education, but never does society think to consult the origin of the problem.
