Racy scenes encourage greater sexual activity

By James Peng | July 23, 2012

Children who watch feature films with more racy scenes tend to engage in sex at a younger age, have more sexual partners and participate in more unsafe sex, according to a study by researchers in a Dartmouth social health psychology lab and at the Geisel School of Medicine. The study, titled "Greater Exposure to Sexual Content in Popular Movies Predicts Earlier Sexual Debut and Increased Risk Taking," was published online in the journal Psychological Science on Wednesday. The researchers used data from a longitudinal study of American adolescents and determined that racy movies increase sexual risk by "modifying sexual behavior," according to the article. "Kids who are watching more of these movies lose their virginity at a younger age and reported less condom use," lead author Ross O'Hara, a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Missouri, said in an interview with The Dartmouth.
