Adult TV for kids means earlier sex as teens

Children exposed to adult-themed movies and TV shows are likely to have sex earlier in their teenage years than their peers who were not similarly exposed, according to a new study by Children's Hospital Boston.

The results of the study were presented recently at the annual meeting of the Pediatric Academic Societies in Baltimore. The study followed 754 kids first in childhood and again five years later when they were aged 12 to 18. According to the data, earlier exposure to adult content correlated to the earlier sexual activity in the teenage years.
