Breitbart<\/a> | Steven Crowder | May 12, 2009<\/p>\n

Is there anything more abnormal than being a mid-teen virgin in the year 2009? Not if you\u2019d hear Hollywood tell it. After watching a slew of teen-movies this weekend, I feel quite pathetic. It seems that all this time, I\u2019ve been trying to follow my convictions and make a difference in this world, when I really should have been spending my time scoring with chicks. Has anybody else out there come to this realization as of late? <\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

From TV shows aimed squarely at young dames such as \u201cGossip Girl\u201d or \u201c90210,\u201d to hit teen films like \u201cAmerican Pie\u201d or the recent \u201cAdventureland,\u201d the message in regards to sexuality is quite clear; If you\u2019re still a virgin at 16, there must be something wrong with you. Sure, it would be bad enough that all of these programs are laden with super-model-turned actors having sex like banshees (the parents are never around, mind you), but Hollywood doesn\u2019t stop there. No, the good old folks in Tinseltown feel the need to twist the knife and go out of its way to point out the abnormality of abstinence.<\/p>\n

The truth is that even in the most liberal of statistics, over 40% of kids remain virgins through their teen years. Keep in mind that a good percentage of those poll\u2019d in these \u201cblind studies\u201d are men and let\u2019s be honest\u2026 A good 30% of them are probably lying, so you can bet that the real statistics would favor the lonely little virgins even more.<\/p>\n

If you were an alien dropped on to planet Earth however, forced to deduce the sexuality of the human species solely from what Hollywood pumps out, you\u2019d probably think that nobody made it past 16 without having schtupped a myriad of partners.<\/p>\n

One would have to wonder how much different that statistic would be if Hollywood WEREN\u2019T pressuring teenagers to engage in the horizontal mambo. If Hollywood put all of its \u201cvirginity is for suckers\u201d energy into promoting \u201csaving sex till marriage,\u201d I bet we\u2019d see a very different, much more lopsided statistic. Of course Hollywood could never do that, as they don\u2019t believe in \u201cforcing ones beliefs on others\u201d\u2026 Unless of course said beliefs include situational ethics, then it\u2019s time to preach it father, preach it!<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

So just to get things straight\u2026 Upholding traditional values when it comes to sex and marriage = judgemental and unrealistic. Making fun of the quirky abnormality that is a young-teen virgin = that\u2019s just good TV.<\/p>\n

With the soaring STD\/STI rates, one would have to wonder if going back to the \u201cunrealistic views of teenage sex\u201d might not be so bad after all. The painful truth is that in its attempt to remain \u201cmorally neutral,\u201d Hollywood is causing us to raise a nation of cads and harlots\u2026 Thanks again Sean Penn!<\/p>\n
