What bothers me is how it has become trivialized and sensationlized. I believe that younger people are going down a long and darker road than older generations did.
Having worked in a teen dentention center as a counselor, I saw how 11 year olds have been affected by what they have seen and heard. I was driving down the street one day and saw a former "client" (instead of prisoner) working the corner. She was 14.
That threw me for a loop, even though I knew her background. Had met her parents.
Sex within itself is a good thing. Outside of sensible boundaries, for myself, it worries me that messages are being sent and received and acted upon and they will come home to roost someday.
