Hi! I thought I recognized that icon from somewhere.
That bit might be an exaggeration, but it sure dovetails nicely with my father's warning to his daughters about teenaged boys. "Sex is on their minds ALL THE TIME! Every minute! Even if they like you and respect you, they're wondering what you look like with your clothes off and would love to find out for themselves!"
Of course with sex being used to sell everything from soap to sandwiches these days, the near-constant bombardment with sexual messages would almost certainly contribute to a preoccupation with sex. I wonder if they thought to put a control group of teens in a set of white rooms or something?

Not that I expect the gender essentialists to sit down and think about gender roles and socialization, or anything.
Oh, and I found your journal through Ginmar's journal. Hi!
