American culture should become more sexualized

First I would like to start out by stating that politically I am libertarian and believe that people should have the freedom to do what they want to do if it does not affect other people. My arguments will be based on more the societal issues like the debate was categorized in and less on the political issues like what the law should be although I will have to talk about it a little. In American culture we generally are encouraged to educate our children about sex and the importance of being aware of the dangers of sex such as STD's, and unwanted pregnancy. in my opinion we already have a pretty sexualized culture with the content around us in movies, TV, and Internet. However I do recognize the restrictions and negativity that goes towards the idea of sex and will be arguing that this is necessary. My first argument is simple. There are dangers and consequences to sex that can be either physical or psychological. The physical consequences include pregnancy and STD's. The psychological consequences can include social separation and isolation, Depression, insecurities, anxiety, and meaningless relationships which can lead to separation and negatively impact a possible child. I know that we deal with a lot of these issues right now but changing a law does not change societies opinion on something. These people will have do deal with these problems with or without a law involved. For the sake of the argument, even if these things were to easily become accepted by people this does not mean that these psychological consequences would go away. The idea of being skinny with big boobs and big but and performing well for your partner is still an exaggerated thing in the media which is a prominent cause of insecurities and depression. With men it is the idea of having a big penis or big muscles. Sometimes the idea of being insecure about something is good because it is a prominent motivator but with the idea of sexualizing a culture you are giving more meaning to sex and being better at it. Being motivated to be better at sex will not make you a productive person to help benefit your society. Doing that would only have a negative impact on society like it is right now. If anything, we are too sexualized already. With that point being made I would like to talk about the maturity of teenagers and young adults. 15 year old kids to 17 year old kids are a lot less mature than average and are a lot more impulsive and less likely to think about the consequences of an action. even 18 or 19 even into the low 20s young adults tend to be less mature and more impulsive. Teenagers and young adults are not fully capable of understanding long term consequences and often overlook them in decision making. 15 year old kids should not be having sex at all. However I do agree with you that education is important for children and it is encouraged to start talking to your children about it at a young age. Age of consent should not be lowered to under 15. Children this age are easier to take advantage of and often succumb to peer pressure a lot easier. - http://www.nbcnews.com... I conclude for now and will have a lot more to say in rebuttals next round.
