The average kid today is immersed in sexual imagery. A generation that has grown up on cable specials or by reading the cover of nearly any women's magazine in the grocery check-out line is familiar with the facts of life. Young people face a barrage of confusing messages. Along with titillating images from the media, some kids are told to "just say no" to sex. In school, others are taught how to put a condom on a banana in preparation for the real thing, and still other children receive no information whatsoever.
