Observation On Sexual Responsibility

As I was reading online, I clicked on a link that I probably shouldn’t have and this what popped up: “Jordin Sparks makes a virginity vow”. Jordan Sparks is an American Idol winner, as I found out, who wants to wait till marriage to make the sexual leap. With my own personal opinions of this aside, it made me realize something.

Ya know what I think this society lacks? A “I’m not going to be a (excuse my french) slut vow” or in its more politically correct form “I’m going to be sexually responsible vow.”

Right now it seems as if the media is only interested in portraying these two extremes, it would be refreshing to see some stars adopt the middle path of sexual control. But perhaps I am placing to much emphasis on what is being portrayed and what in actuality exists. Although I do believe the media influences people and as such it would be more than useful to have a mature portrayal.

In light of this I’d like to go on the record to say I’d find sexual responsibility more interesting then sexual abstinence or sexual craziness. So come on media, entice me!!!
