My opinions about Sexy inc: Children Under the Influence

Today in class we watched a video about young children, who are being influenced in a certain sexual or "sexy" manner. I agree that in certain cases there are young children acting or dressing way older then they should be. However i think in this video they went a little over the top. There was one lady talking about a bra for a young girl saying it was sexually seductive and that no little girl should have a pink lacy bra with buttons on it, because it was seductive.Last time i checked my 10 year old sister doesnt want pretty bras because she wants to seduce boys. Little girls want a bra thats pretty because it helps them feel happier about their body. When a young girl is developing breasts they rend to be insecure about their changing body.So why would they not want to cover it up with something they consider sparkley or pretty. Having this sparkly bra in essense is letting the little girl that she is pretty and that her browing breasts is not something gross or bad.Secondly getting a bra is a part of growing up. A little girl essentialy wants to be like her mommy. She wants to develop full breasts and cover them in a way that makes them feel good about their appearance. If the little girl feels her mom is pretty or just in general a little girl wants to copy their mom. I think if they are going to be all technical they may as wellsay that giving a child a doll to play and take care of, is teaching them to be seductive. For when you give your little girl a doll your trying to teach her to look after it and be a "good mommy". Of course since your teaching her to be a mommy, the little girl now automatically thinks she is to go have sex and make a baby. Of course your not implying this nor does your daughter even think that.The same goes for when she mentions the girl on the bag to clearly be a prostitue. A little 5 year old is not going to go omg mommy a prostitute! The 5 year old should not even have access to this vocabulary. Perhaps what im getting at is that children interpret sexuality the way their parents go about it. A child is not even going to know what porn is most likely until you tell them. In fact i was discussing this with my mother and my little sister asked "whats porn?" My mother said nothing more but it is " naked people who could be having sex, not a nice thing" I believe that depending on how a parent approaches such topic as this really molds how a child is going to act. If the parent does not make a big ordeal about how wrong or how it is slanderous to women etc etc the child will dismiss it and deem it as unessecary. It is like the Gender Schema theory, the child processes what you have said about porn and reacted to it and from saying it is "not nice" or "icky" the child comes to the conclusion that porn is bad and not something they should do. Without realizing it this simple act has shaped how the child portrays there gender. I think that the women and men in this video were far to paniced about all the sex that is around younger children when most dont pay attention to the meaning of it all. I do agree that some children fall into it but that is when a parent needs to step in and say "dont do that it is inappropriate because...." I believe that if the parents intervene and guide their children through all the sex that it is out there, children wont lose their childhood.

Commonalities and Differences in Sexuality

I have created a type of online poster to demonstrate the commonalities and differences in human sexuality here is the link http://jessrawr.glogster.com/human-sexuality/

Sexual Response

Today I thought you might enjoy something a little more exciting then reading about my thoughts on sexual response. So I have created a video of an interview with Rosemary Basson. Her opinions are based on the way I thnk she would react in this kind of interview. Just to warn you since it is a computer some of the words may be pronounced a little funny but i think you will get the idea. So sit back and enjoy. http://www.xtranormal.com/watch/7405363/
