Are You A Prude?

Did I get your attention? I usually don't post pictures this racy on my blog, but I found it to be very fitting for the topic of conversation. (And this was the only picture that was the most modest.) Let's face it. We all know that sex sells in the media, especially in this day in age. Just look at the author of 50 Shades of Gray. I haven't read it yet, but I really want to, to see for myself what all the hoopla is about, but at the moment, I'm wait listed on the library at number 102. And who hasn't read/watched the True Blood series? It's definitely not a new subject, but my concern is for the younger generation.
The issue of sexuality has been increasing in the young adult genre, even more so, in the 21st century. I remember reading books as a teen when kissing was as far as it went. Are we as a general group, too obsessed with the issue of sex? I know I was shocked to read a comment from an 11 year old stating that True Blood was her favorite show, and it was recommended from her mother. True Blood has a TON of sex and violent scenes, and I feel has too much mature content for any 11 year old to watch.
And sex is also creeping up even in advertising. I was searching for pictures to add to this particular post to prove my point, and under the topic of "Sex Sells," I found this advertising:

I was completely shocked that Burger King of all fast food places, had this. If a little kid saw this picture, how would parents explain the relation to the picture and the words? And with the slogan of "It Just Tastes Better" on the side, was that a pun intended? 

Aside from the media, and adult fiction books, I am currently reading a young adult book of Until I Die by Amy Plum. And though it was very minor and subtle, there is a passage where it hinted that a character was gay. I'm all for gay/lesbian rights, but what happens when it starts creeping up in young adult, and kids as little as 11 years old are reading? How do parents deal with the issue of gay/lesbian issues to kids? How young is too young to deal with this topic at all? I don't know about the rest of you guys, but when I was growing up, I was raised in a conservative household, and it was frowned upon if we saw anything as racy as True Blood. And of course my sisters and I watched Sex And The City when it was popular (but we were all in our late teens by then), and we just watched it without our parents knowing. And we all know movies are getting even more daring too. Just look at Breaking Dawn part one. I guess, what I'm trying to say is, even though I get sucked into the drama of it all just as much as the next person (pun definitely not intended), I'm just deeply saddened by what our generation has come to.
