A new study came out in the August Edition of Pediatrics showing the correlation between sexual lyrics and sexual activity among teens. The study concluded that 51% of teens between the ages of 12 - 17 who listen to sexual lyrics were likely to engage in sexual activity with in 2 years of being exposed to sexual lyrics.

So based on these number is it safe to say that sexual lyrics have a direct impact on sexual activity? Well, we are not sure about that because there are so many other factors out there that can convince a teenage boy or girl to engage in sexual activity.

What we do know is that music is a powerful tool and can be used to influence many.  What is your take?
