Do you even notice it? Or are people today just completely desensitized because there's so much trash in the media like talking about the Kardashians or whatever?

I personally avoid the really trashy stuff, but still whatever I look at -- whether it's watching TV, or going to a movie, or listening to the radio -- they're trying to sell sex.

I don't want to sound like a prude, but does anyone else from this generation feel like society has gone overboard?

People put sex where it doesn't even belong, like I'm watching a TV show I like, and the writers will find some way to have the main characters doing it be central to the plot, as if the whole world revolves around sex. That's just prime time network TV. You look at HBO, and it's like they have mandatory nudity in every episode. And I understand why people think HBO has good shows that win all these awards, but every single one of them emphasizes sex.

Then you turn on the radio, and it's more sex. Asking some stupid question like if the sex isn't good, does that give you a right to cheat on someone? And a lot of the music that gets frequently played is about sex, in some cases completely misogynist.

It seems like a bunch of brainwashing, telling people that sex isn't a big deal. Like it's to be expected, and you're weird if you want to wait until marriage, or you think that sex should be more intimate than how it's portrayed.

When I was growing up in the 80's (which shouldn't be that long ago), I remember that even having a single kiss in a movie would be enough to give it a PG-13 rating, and you couldn't even have two people in bed together in less than an R-rated movie. Now it's like sex is specifically sold to teenagers, and even as an adult, I get tired of it.
