Main Results:

  • Sexual references on television have become more frequent and explicit over the past decade.
  • Adolescents relying on TV for sexual information may develop unrealistic beauty standards and permissive attitudes towards premarital/extramarital sex.
  • This reliance can lead to a lack of awareness regarding contraception for pregnancy and disease prevention.

Conclusions:

  • Television's portrayal of sexuality significantly influences adolescent perceptions and behaviors.
  • There is a critical need for more research on media effects and adolescent sexual health.
  • Policy interventions and media literacy programs are recommended to mitigate negative impacts.
