All pretty sub-par movies but kids wanted to be like them. It's not unlikely that sexually explicit lyrics can in fact play a role in kids wanting to have sex.

111 posts	It may be in a more subtle form, instead of being outright sexual. Combined with other forms of media like the internet and television, I would think so.

Generally songs about food did make me want that food when I was little (and now...), and I'm not overweight, so... But I'd say they probably have to be having sexual feelings first. The songs might make them curious, though, if they understand the gist of what they mean.

Here,doesn't matter what I think except for the fact that I would never use "kid(s)" to describe adolescents or young adults/children unless they acted like goats kid (kd) n. 1. a. A young goat. b. The young of a similar animal, such as an antelope. 2. a. The flesh of a young goat. b. Leather made from the skin of a young goat; kidskin. c. An article made from this leather. 3. Informal

89 posts	What a sleeper question. This could easily turn into argument. Peace, love, and respect—yeah? I actually say yes. This might be long.. might not be. Of course, there is the natural and biological predisposition amongst adolescents upon puberty to become more physically aroused and inclined to seek sexual pleasure, but usually—not all the time, but still usually—this is kept in check by social normativity, social stigma, good parenting, achievement and creation of a strong moral vantage point, etc. This leads to both a psychological and physical tension where desires are pent up, and we all know the eventual result of that kind of thing. All one needs is a push past the tipping point, and images and messages from media and culture can potentially provide that. Anyone remember how rock and later some rap music was blamed for the suicides of several teenagers? From a psychological standpoint, it's easy to say that such adolescents have already been contemplating suicide and were more than likely depressed yet didn't have the "energy" (due to depression) to actually bring themselves to do it until something motivated them to—and I'm sure we know how music motivates us in so many different ways. Think of the same principle but with sexual activity. Anthropologically speaking (or would it be more accurate to say ethnographically?), sexual lyrics, as well as other sexual cultural and media content, explicitly challenge the societal creed of "No (premarital, promiscuous, unsafe, etc.) sex." Amongst most people, being denied an object or privilege only makes us want it more and often contrive to break the rules. Having such sexual and suggestive content in our public as well as personal spheres, both explicit and pervasive, makes it that much easier to break those kinds of rules. There is also the argument of the vicious consumer capitalist cycle: particular lifestyles or ideas found amidst the daily lives of consumers are picked up and adapted by the market and then sold back to the consumer, which changes or perpetuates lifestyles and ideas of the consumer, which then—you get the idea. Overt sexuality and promiscuity have been on the rise in the postwar era and are arguably at their highest in this day and age. Apply that to the said cycle, and you can come to the conclusion that sexual content—sexual lyrics, even—prevalently influence and advocate sexual activity within adolescent and young adult individuals. Additionally, sexual themes and subjects, being so significant in today's popular culture, are very common. The more we are exposed, the more desensitized we become, the easier is it to think there is no problem with that which we have become desensitized to.

Our mind is an extremely complex computer and acts like a sponge absorbing everything our environment throws at it. It is ignorant and naive to think that a human will not react to his environment. Specially a human child.
