This isn't just an isolated article or study. This is extremely telling. We live in a culture that is obsessed and saturated with sex. Almost all TV sitcoms feature overt sexual situations using that as bait to boost ratings.
Sex is inescapable.
Unfulfilled and obviously unattainable dreams and fantasy trumps real life. They engage in sex as spectators, only to the extent that they can be and are entertained by it. Some time back, Neil Postman wrote an insightful book called Entertaining Ourselves To Death . This past Presidential election exposes just how accurate a prophet Postman was and how closely related sex and politics really are as they merge into one big entertainment industry. This recent election revolved not around objective issues and reality, but rather around entertainment.
