Study on Teens and Sexually Explicit Music.

OK so the jist of this study is that teens who listen to sexually explicit music start having sex sooner than those that don't. I think back to my HS days, and yes the music was tamer than it is these days, but it was still sexually driven. We've explored many times on this board how music can enhance the mood or a sexual experience, but what came first? The sex or the music?

What do you think? Is it the music which makes kids less inhibited, or is that the more inhibited kids just don't listen to that kind of music?

i think it's more the latter than the former. sex pervades most aspects of mainstream culture and we use it to sell distinctly non-sexy things nowadays.

JMHO.

Agreeing with Ed.

Thinking way back to my high school days when there were the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, it was my experience the 'good' kids liked the Beatles and the 'bad' kids liked the Stones.

a little rivalry was there?

Only if they were also fond of both the Beatles and the Rolling Stones and could do a passable version of singing along with The New Christie Minstrels and Janis Joplin.

Exactly. There is no circle of hell for those who liked Salieri - but there is a tiny tetrahedron on a tangent to the fourth circle that has been set aside for them.

Pardon? Would you like to rephrase the part in bold??

WW: that depends on whether one believes playwright peter shaffer.

damn! wasn't it enough that I googled salieri? Now you want me to read the play?

Ahem:

Passable, adj.

1. That can be passed, traversed, or crossed; navigable: a passable road.

2. Acceptable for general circulation: passable currency.

3. Satisfactory but not outstanding; adequate: The actors gave passable performances but the singers seemed unrehearsed.

Singing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Singing is the act of producing musical sounds with the voice, which is often contrasted with speech. Air is expelled with the diaphragm as with ordinary breathing, and the pitch is altered with the vocal cords. With the lips closed, this is called humming. A piece of music with a singing part, either a cappella or accompanied, is called a song; someone who sings is called a singer.

Most singing involves shaping the voice to form words, but types of voice instrumental music which use open sounds or nonsense syllables ("vocables") also exist, for instance, scat singing and yodeling. Solfege assigns certain syllables to notes in the scale.

Nearly anyone who can speak can sing, since in many respects singing is merely sustained speech. It can be informal and just for pleasure, for example, singing in the shower; or it can be very formal, such as singing done professionally as a performance or in a recording studio. Singing at a high amateur or professional level usually requires a great deal of regular practice, and/or instruction. Many top-quality singers regularly take or have taken a great deal of professional instruction from one or more voice coaches.

Singing is often done in a group, such as a choir, and may be accompanied by musical instruments, a full orchestra, or a band. Singing with no pitched instrumental accompaniment is called a cappella.

<snip>


In hardcore punk, hoarse shouting takes the place of singing, while in screamo, some bands scream rather than sing. In metal, particularly the sub-genre of death metal, low growls called death grunts are favoured over standard singing. In modern Metalcore, a hybrid of screaming and death grunts generally take the place of singing.



ok ok..it appears if you can speak...which I assume you can...that I have to admit you can sing...most likely passably.

Wondering if for being big about it and admitting I was wrong if I can get a sample of your informal singing in the shower. I might even throw in a low growl or scream of my own.

This one time, at band camp...

Ok, everyone that's ever said Schubert Rocks, raise your hand!

It's all the same

I was into all the big-hair 80's rock as a teen.... The music was all about sex, then. What's changed? Now KISS is wholesome enough to play the Olympics.... have you ever listened to the words??? "Lick it up" ?? Yeah, all innocence and light. *laugh*

As a teenager, our hormones are on full blast, and I don't think the music is really going to increase the chances of anyone having sex. But we have to blame someone for our kid's promiscuity-- it's certainly not our lack of parenting. Right? I mean, they sued bands because the music "told" their kid to kill himself (no matter that he wasn't wired right to begin with), so why not point the finger somewhere else now?

It's much easier that way.

A perfect point and one of my favorite songs! I remember hearing that song for the first time in middle school at a dance. I had no clue what it meant. Believe it or not that song popped into my head the first time I ever went down on a woman so many years later. Now it's one of the only songs I can play on my guitar all the way through.

Still, that song's chorus was a little less blatant than "My neck, my back, lick my pussy and my crack."

They grew up to teach high school band, and married the home ec teacher and have three beautiful children and a dog.
