Sexual behavior has changed considerably over time to include sexual activity at a young age (as early as 11 years old), same-sex relationships, and acknowledgement of sexual addiction. Acceptable sexual behavior has also changed; for example, social acceptance of having intercourse before marriage. Supported by research, media content, which contains sexual messages and images, has influenced what society now considers acceptable sexual behavior.
Debates continue over what society considers sexually acceptable vs. sexually deviant. For example, the influence and availability of pornography is one driver in these behavioral and social changes. While still socially controversial, pornography continues, and the Internet has made pornography more accessible.
Think about how society has become desensitized to sex with media as a primary catalyst. In an essay, define what society generally considers sexually acceptable versus sexually deviant. Include how pornography contributed to the change of socially acceptable sexual behavior
