Sexual Lyrics

In a lot of today's music, the lyrics to songs contain very sexual lyrics. I believe that a lot of these lyrics are extremely inappropriate for children to be listening to. I feel like these lyrics make it more socially acceptable for women to be objectified and seen only as sexual objects.

Although I do believe that many lyrics are inappropriate, I do not believe that the lyrics directly cause adolescents to become sexually active at a younger age in the vast majority of cases. I think that most people just listen to the songs with the sexual lyrics because they like the beat, not because of the lyrics. I know that I listen to songs with explicit lyrics, but I don't really think about the lyrics, even if I am singing along with the song. I think that movies and tv shows with sexual content have a much greater affect on adolecents' sexual experiences because they are watching the sexual acts and it seems more like reality than songs do.
