Enjoy!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Degrading and non-degrading sex in popular music: a content analysis.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;OBJECTIVES: Those exposed to more degrading sexual references in popular music are more likely to initiate intercourse at a younger age. The purpose of this study was to perform a content analysis of contemporary popular music with particular attention paid to the prevalence of degrading and non-degrading sexual references. We also aimed to determine if sexual references of each subtype were associated with other song characteristics and\/or content.<span id=\"more-6423\"><\/span> METHODS: We used Billboard magazine to identify the top popular songs in 2005. Two independent coders each analyzed all of these songs (n = 279) for degrading and non-degrading sexual references&#8230; &#8230; RESULTIS: Of the 279 songs identified, 103 (36.9%) contained references to sexual activity. Songs with references to degrading sex were more common than songs with references to non-degrading sex (67 [65.0%] vs. 36 [35.0%], p &lt; 0.001). Songs with degrading sex were most commonly Rap (64.2%), whereas songs with non-degrading sex were most likely Country (44.5%) or Rhythm &amp; Blues\/Hip-Hop (27.8%). Compared with songs that had no mention of sexual activity, songs with degrading sex were more likely to contain references to substance use, violence, and weapon carrying. Songs with non-degrading sex were no more likely to mention these other risk behaviors.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\"  href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/18828414\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6426\" title=\"degrading\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.discovermagazine.com\/discoblog\/files\/2010\/02\/degrading.jpg\" alt=\"degrading\" width=\"455\" height=\"265\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Photo: Wikimedia\/<a rel=\"nofollow\"  href=\"http:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Ballasyrkellypic.jpg\">Nicholas Ballasy<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Related content:<br \/>\nDiscoblog: <a rel=\"nofollow\"  href=\"http:\/\/blogs.discovermagazine.com\/discoblog\/2009\/11\/19\/opera-makes-me-want-to-kill-myself\/\">NCBI ROFL: Opera makes me want to kill myself.<\/a><br \/>\nDiscoblog: <a rel=\"nofollow\"  href=\"http:\/\/blogs.discovermagazine.com\/discoblog\/2009\/07\/23\/want-your-rat-to-get-it-on-while-high-on-ecstasy-play-loud-music\/\">NCBI ROFL: Want your rat to get it on while high on ecstasy?
