The pornography and sexual scenes on television have doubled since 1998, according to the site annalsofsex.com. Some of the references showed on TV were about waiting to have sex or using protection, but these subjects just were increased in recent years. Usually, the sexual content includes talk about sex and sexual behaviors, fromm kissing to sexual intercourse. Some specialists fear that these images can affect children or people’s sexual behavior, including the precocious puberty.

In spite of some individuals believe that the television brings visibility to homosexuality and helps to diminish the preconception, for example, some channels destined to young people make TV shows to promote encounters, and some episodes are made to the gay public. The fact made some parents angry, specially the catholics, which believe that the homosexualism is learned. Sexual orientation, however, is intrinsic to each person, and the television doesn’t play influence on it.

Television can be a bad example when it shows pornographic contents and hot interviews about sex. A kid can see a sexual scene without protection – how it is normally showed on movies, because the act of wearing a condom doesn’t appear – and, because he didn’t receive a good or enough sexual education, he can have his first sexual experience without the use of a condom, and then be at risk to catch some sexual transmitted disease (STD) or be a precocious parent and lose his youth.

Thinking about this kind of problem, the television is starting to include more publicity about the risks that sex can bring and the protection to avoid them. The opened television channels usually pass these campaigns between one block and other of the programming, but they aren’t enough yet. To have a major influence on the teenagers, the TV shows should make their actors talk about sexual education, crucial values and give examples of good sexual behavior, including condoms and similars in their talks.
