Songs like “My Humps” by Black Eyed Peas, talking about female sexual satisfaction, “Bump ‘n Grind” (ok that’s an old one) by one of music’s more sexually charged muses, R. Kelly and other sexually charged songs are being blamed for spurring teenagers - boys and girls alike, into having sex at an earlier age.

A recent study shows that teens that pump their ipods full of sexy lyrics and sexually charged or raunchy songs are more likely to engage in earlier sexual activity than kids who do not listen to this type of music. Researchers say that it’s hard to get away from any kind of music - whether it be rock, rap or top 40 music, that contains some sort of sexual reference or sexy meanings, that are specifically aimed at attracting the teen audience, who is the biggest purchaser of downloaded music and CD’s.

Music today has a lot of lyrics that are actually either sexually explicit, or depict sex as a cool and fun thing to do, with little repurcussion socially or emotionally. Also, younger people are getting more interested in enhancing their sex life in ways that are far advanced of what you would think the typical teen would know.
