Young People, Sex and the Media : The facts of life
Young People, Sex, and the Media: The Facts of Life delves into the complex relationship between media representations of sex and the sexual attitudes and behaviors of young people. The book explores how various media forms—including television, social media, and advertising—shape and influence young people's perceptions of sexuality and sexual behavior. It critically examines the content and messages disseminated through these media channels, evaluating their accuracy, impact, and the potential gaps in sexual education that they create. By analyzing how media exposure affects young people's understanding of sex, the book highlights both the positive and negative consequences of media influence. It offers practical recommendations for educators, parents, and policymakers on how to address these influences and enhance sexual education and media literacy. The aim is to provide a comprehensive understanding of how media affects youth sexuality and to inform strategies for fostering healthier sexual development and awareness among young audiences.
