| CMCH Synopsis: |
Researchers looked at the sexual content in movies, television, music, magazines, internet sites, and newspapers. Then they gave surveys to teens to see whether being exposed to this kind of contact affected their sexual behavior.
They found that movies were the media that had the biggest impact on sexual behavior, as well as on the teens' intentions to have sex. Researchers suggest that the amount of sexual content teens see, rather than the type of sexual content they see, has the biggest impact on sexual attitudes and behaviors. © Center on Media and Child Health
