Whether or not music videos are too risque for the common viewer is certainly debatable, but sex isn't a "so-so" form of expression. In the traditional sense, it's the ultimate expression of love. The essence of that has been devalued in modern society but to say that the presence of sex keeps a video from being expressive is...well...laughable. If you want to argue a point, make sure it's a good argument, like the upward spike in teenage pregnancy that will directly correlate with overpopulation that has drawn visible influences from popular culture, I.E. music videos.

What's wrong with sex? That is my question. What makes sex so vulgar that children can't learn about? Why are we creating this image of sex as a taboo thing unless you are in love? Sex is a natural thing. I don;t have a problem with teenagers having sex. Of course, they would need to have a proper sex ed class to teach them to be safe, but I don;t see why it has to be such a big deal. If a teenager is prepared for whatever consequences may come from their actions, then let them have sex. If they get pregnant, let them get an abortion if they want one. If they get a disease, get them treatment. Teens have the same risks that adults have and they have as much right to do it as anyone else. So, as for sex in music videos, who cares? Sex is sex, don't make it into something it's not.

There is no treatment for AIDS.

There is no treatment for AIDS.

There are treatments that can slow the course of the disease, but there is no cure. Even so, if a teenager or adult gets HIV through unprotected sex, it is their own fault for having unprotected sex.

I say: If a teen has sex they are not ready for pregnancy. A child should not be killed just because a bunch of children thought it would be fun to have sex unprotected. If they get diseases its thier own fault and they deserve to live with it. They don't deserve treatment if they can't afford it. They deserve to be forced to give birth, get a job, and take care of a child if they get pregnant. People will learn thier lesson if they get forced to live with thier choices. If we keep babying everyone then the worlds just gonna keep becoming more corrupted than it all ready is.

Kids lack knowledge, kids don't know whats right and whats wrong. If they had good parents and were talked to about all these things then I agree with you, but if I child would be born into this world and have parents not fit to parent, and would live a bad childhood, then they shouldn't give birth.

Well, I am pro-choice, so I think that no one should be denied the right to abort. Even if the person is a teenager who had unprotected sex, she has rights to her own body and her own life and she can decide what to do with the baby, whether it lives or dies.

It's not. Condom does not fully protect men from AIDS, nor does the pills that women take in order to prevent pregnancy from coming about.

Wrong. Although your last statement is correct (contraceptional pills do not prevent women from getting AIDS), a "perfect" condom (i.e. - a condom with no rips that is perfectly placed, unallowing the transference of body fluids) will fully protect a man from AIDS. Now, you might think the statement I've said is faulty (and you'll even find texts that will endorse your point, stating that condoms only protect men 99% of the time), however, you need to remember I've included one word that researches do not: PERFECTLY placed condoms. The 1% of the remaining cases are all caused by human failure, whether it happened on the factory (by not discarding a faulty condom on the quality test) or on the use of the condom.

Now, Rurudo synthetises my point with extreme clarity: humans just deem as sex as immoral because humans were conditioned to do such. If one were to look onto his own biology, he or she would notice that sex is extremely natural (between both rational and irrational animals) and obviously beneficial, biologically speaking (due to the transference of genetical material inter-species, instead of reproducing without sex, on which the descendants have the same genetical code as the ascendants). A work of several years (specially promoted by churches) has "neutralized" the sexual instinct as "devious, sinful and forbidden", that being the reason why, even on our current society, most priests and a sizable share of the clergy cannot marry or have sexual relations, at least theoretically. With that said, and considering this historical background, I'm going to ask you all some questions:

1 - Consider both drug useage and sex scenes on movies. Which action is most damaging to a human being, considering them both to be "clean" actions, i.e., with no collateral effects different from the usual ones (drug useage examples: HIV, overdose, lethal dosage; sex examples: HIV, pregnancy, STD). Now, which action is the most age-restricted when regarding movies: drug useage or sex?

2 - What is the logical reasoning to deem sex as immoral or even perverting? Now, what's the logical reasoning to deem strong language use as immoral or perverting?

3 - How can sex directly transform people into better human beings? How can the "usual" PG-rated "censorship" (i.e. - violence, drug useage or strong language) directly transform people into better human beings?

Once you ponder about these three little questions, the truth is clear: the "censorship" applied to sex is biased, generated from prejudice that lingers on our "ideology" even on these "modern" times. The appeal of sex to children is overrated and deemed as more damaging than it actually is. I don't like to use generalities to prove my point, but I'm going to use, for once, a generality, since I consider my point to be clear beyond any reasonable doubts.

Consider the current system we have (that is, pornographic movies are restricted to only 18+). Now, if you were to think clearly about the general teenager, you might find a rather funny trend - that restriction is disregarded by the greatest share of the teenager population. Memes about sex and masturbation are normal to that "class", and movies that would be "forbidden" can be accessed through the cyberspace. Now, here comes the generality. If you were to take this share of the population, you could see that the access to sex does not pervert the person onto a deviant - rather the contrary, the sexual stimmuli creates the guy's/girl's identity on a positive and natural way, by opening barriers that were once closed, creating the possibility of development of more confidence and open-mindness. Now, you might disagree with me, and on some cases you will be correct (that's why I hate generalities), however, if you were to look onto the general mindset, that would not be the case. To me, this question is proven beyond any reasonable doubts, as long as one is able to remove the prejudice the common human being will have about sex.

Don't stop it.

I love seeing females display there low self esteem by shaking there oversized anuses in a rap video

Whats wrong with 'porn' in music videos? It's not even softcore porn so whats the deal? If you're afraid children may see the 'sex' scene in he video, maybe the LYRICS of the video isn't fit for that child at all.

Sex sells, it's as simple as that.

I think i once read a research that it actually is wrong. Having sex scenes in music video or movies doesnt increase the selling of the product. But most people just have dirty minds nowdays

Let's see:

According to Psychopathology, a boy masturbates around 4 times a week. A girl 2 times a week. The amount of times may vary all the same. You have had sexual desires from the beginning of adolescence.
Sex scenes may be appealing to the eye, but what if you've already masturbated? In my opinion, you only want to watch sex scenes if you desire for masturbation. Unless... I am wrong there? Nobody knows.
Please express your views on this too. Thank you!

Taylor, the thing is, and it's sad: There is no perfect condom. Even if your partner can put on 2 or 3 French letters at once, it is likely to happen that the condom "breaks down". For that matter, it is highly likely to happen, as once again, there is no perfect condom, just like there is no perfect pill to take for women, so I'm sorry if I'm wrong, but judging by what I've read, I'm going to have to reject the idea that you can "escape your fate". And we're well aware that when something happens the way we don't want it to, we will get cold feet. You can look for the perfect condom over hedge and ditch, but you'll never find it as there's none.
