Woop, woop! More Chicago. This here is a documentary filmed by a girl named Crislin and it's all about
This documentary got me thinking about sex and all the questions that were asked:
Sex is very common in this generation. Then again, I feel like sex has always been common. I remember my freshman year I was talking to my friend Kendall who is in this video and he said "by your junior year, every girl who isn't having sex will be having sex." I mean, of course I laughed it off but I'm a junior now... his statement wasn't too far off. Nowadays at my age, talking about sex is like talking about clothes for example; normal as hell. Am I surprised by it? No. Am I ashamed by it? No. I just feel as if sex is BOUND to happen at some point and this is typically where it starts. I will say though that the younger people of my generation are growing up a lot faster than my friends and I did. I really just want them to slow down, but I can't really worry about anybody but myself.
One thing I think everyone can agree on is that the media really does have an effect on how teens view sex. ESPECIALLY MUSIC. It seems like if an artist isn't making pop music, he's making "baby making music" and even when that's not the case, there are sexual references in all types of music. Me personally, I believe our generation is so used to having sex being thrown at us that if you ask someone if they're effected, they might say no. Like if I hear like a rap song about a "bitch shaking her ass on a nigga dick" I'm not like "OOOH LEMME GO SHAKE MY ASS ON A NIGGA DICK BECAUSE THIS THE JAM!" No... that's not how it works. Every time a song like that comes on the radio and I'm in the car with my parents, they ask me "Do you know what you're singing about?" Uh, YEAH. I'm just singing -_- Branching off from just music, television publicizes sex a lot as well. We have shows like 16 & Pregnant or Teen Mom that are obviously bluntly about sex, then there are shows like Awkward. that showcase young sexually active teens at like 15 basically boning all the time. But then, society tries to look down on people who have a lot of sex? Naw bruh, it doesn't work like that.
I don't care if a girl friend of mine isn't a virgin. Does that make her a bad person? No, not in my eyes. Sex is natural, it's going to happen. Why should I care? I'm a person with strong morals, so none of my friends can pressure me into having sex. I'm not against sex, and I know it's going to happen. I also know me being the female, I ultimately determine whether or not I'll have sex with a person. I can't speak from a boy's perspective, but I feel as if it is looked down upon for a boy to be a virgin. Do I care if a boy is a virgin? Personally, naw. Do I care if you do have sex? Naw, I don't care about that either. Everyone isn't like me though. It's all about social acceptance.
One thing I hate is the double standard for males and females when it comes to sex. If a boy has sex with a lot of girls, he's "cool" but let a girl have sex with a lot of boys, shawty a "hoe" who's "going for the team" and her reputation has been tainted significantly. They're BOTH hoes in my eyes. I can't control anyone but myself, so if a person like having sex that's on them. I just hope that they're smart enough to handle everything that comes with having a lot of sex.
Sex is gon' happen. Everything that surrounds that though is very opinionated. Das all.
