Sex is everywhere. You can’t turn on the tv, the radio, open a magazine or anything else for that matter without seeing a sexualized image. Without thinking it’s great to us men, and even some women love the muscle clad men all over. But what are the effects of these images on our kids. A new study took a look into this matter.

“Children and young people today are not only exposed to increasing amounts of hyper-sexualised images, they are also sold the idea that they have to look ’sexy’ and ‘hot’,” Linda Papadopoulos.

The study say that young female teens can see all this sex and become depressed that their bodies don’t look like the ones on TV and in the magazines.

“The whole of society is hypersexualised – sex becomes the common currency through which adults make their way in the world and continually send a signal to children that sex is all that matters,” Frank Furedi

What are your thoughts on all the sex in the media? Is it bad for our kids? Should there be time restrictions on sexual images? Is a bikini too much, what can we do about sex?

It seems like more women are crying over their man’s facebook status or comment. In today’s world, a flirtatious twitter message or comment can lead a woman to snap like Sara from Da Band. A new study even suggest that you may be caught in the facebook feedback loop. Don’t worry it’s not new at all, the only difference is now you can see the things your boo says.

“If your boyfriend is calling or texting another girl, you can’t really see it. But on Facebook, you can see it and so can everyone else, so in a way, you do get jealous because he might be hanging his dirty laundry, and not only are you seeing it, but other people are, too.”

Colin Booth of West Virginia University said he is not the jealous type, but finds it a strange, modern phenomenon to watch your girlfriend develop other relationships in real time on Facebook.

“It’s been happening forever. You’re with a girl, she meets a guy, they’re friends at first,” Booth said. “But it’s the way you see it and what you see. And then you think: What’s going on under the surface if this is what’s going on in public?”

It’s this public disrespect that can lead someone into going crazy and spending the night on the bed crying their eyes out. A lot of time for us men, we really don’t care, sometimes it’s just a matter of our pride getting in the way and taking control of our emotions. This can lead us to asking too many questions and calling our women saying stupid stuff to our women like “Whose d*ck you sucking?”

Now certainly for us average normal sexual intellectuals out there we are not going to go to this extreme but we have to take our time before we jump to conclusions. We are in a new world, one our elders can’t give us any advice on. We are learning by ear. So take the time to listen, talk and love one another. Don’t be afraid to answer a few extra questions from the person we are involved with because a quick bit of explaining can save a relationship. All too often we feel like we don’t have to answer to anyone, but we do. At least we do if we really want to find true love.

“It seems like Facebook is creating jealousy even where there was not jealousy to begin with,” said Amy Muise, a doctoral candidate at the University of Guelph’s psychology department who led a recent study on how Facebook can spark jealousy in romantic relationships among college students.

She said Facebook doesn’t necessarily make people more jealous than they would be normally. But all the information divulged on Facebook — those answers to “What’s on your mind?” and reactions to those posts — can increase “triggers” for jealousy.

The study was based on anonymous online survey data from 308 undergraduate Facebook users, three quarters of them women. The study, published in CyberPsychology & Behavior, found Facebook users can get snagged in a “feedback loop”: Their interest piqued by a cryptic wall comment, they become suspicious and start monitoring their partner’s pages, thus finding even more suspicious information.

Talk about TMI. One of the problems of these new age social media sites, like Twitter and Facebook is that it tells all of your business to people and they don’t even have to do anything extra. Gone are the good ole days of blackplanet and myspace when you could hide your online dirt a little better. People no longer have to go to someone else’s page to track your comments they can read it all from the comfort of your page. Another thing, since when did following people become acceptable? If I followed you in the streets I’d be arrested for stalking. Go figure.
