Sex and Media - Sex and Youth

Sorry for the time away...I have been enjoying a few days away from the microphone to enjoy the wonderful Canadian weather.

Today...we are discussing Sex and the Media and the consequences it has with our youths. We provide some interesting statistics and hopefully some provocative discussion on the topic. The idea for this episode came from the recent news in the U.K. regarding a young man (13yrs old)who allegedly happened to get a 15 year old girl pregnant. I was getting a little sick of the social conservatives "wondering" how this could happen after they spend millions of dollars lobbying government to stop sex education and the availability of contraceptives in public school systems. I hope you enjoy it and like always...I would love to hear your comments. Reach us at canadian.politico@gmail.com or just leave a comment.
