Watching sex scenes in Hollywood films can make children more promiscuous and sexually active from a younger age, a new study has suggested.
Psychologists concluded that teenagers exposed to more sex on screen in popular films are likely to have sexual relations with more people and without using condoms.
The study, based on nearly 700 popular films, found that watching love scenes
could "fundamentally influence" a teenager's personality.
The researchers, from Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, concluded youngsters
were more prone to take risks in their future relationships.
They also concluded that for every hour of exposure to sexual content
on-screen, participants were more than five times more likely to lose their
virginity within six years.
"Adolescents who are exposed to more sexual content in movies start
having sex at younger ages, have more sexual partners, and are less likely
to use condoms with casual sexual partners," said Dr Ross O'Hara, who
led the study.
