In the absence of effective sex education in the United States, the media have arguably become the leading sex educator for children and teenagers. Considerable research now exists that attests to the ability of the media to influence adolescents' attitudes and beliefs about sex and sexuality. In addition, new research has found a significant link between exposure to sexual content in the media and earlier onset of sexual intercourse. Although there is little research on the behavioral effects of "new" media, they are discussed as well. Suggestions for clinicians, parents, the federal government, and the entertainment industry are provided.
在美国，由于缺乏有效的性教育，媒体可以说是儿童和青少年的主要性教育者。现在有大量研究证明，媒体有能力影响青少年对性和性行为的态度及观念。此外，新的研究发现，接触媒体中的性内容与性行为提前开始之间存在显著联系。尽管关于“新媒体”行为影响的研究很少，但也会对其进行讨论。本文还为临床医生、家长、联邦政府和娱乐产业提供了建议。
