Does rap and heavy metal music trigger sexual desire in children?
Many concerned parents wonder whether they should let their children go to a party.
Rap, hip-hop and r&b are increasingly more commercially oriented, also by implying sex. (PhotoXpress)

In 2001, a study was published in the USA (Pediatrics) on the influence of music on sexual activity of adolescents, in particular rap and heavy metal. The results of the study were surprising and showed that music has a strong influence on sex life of young people. These adolescents presumably start having sexual relations sooner. The share is not so important because the finding of the study triggered a number of new studies. To this end, a study was published by the Department of Psychiology at the Missouri Western State University this year and, in another type of research, it found that listening to
music has no connection with sexual relations at all.
Who to believe and which study is better, and which one was the closest to the truth?
I believe the real issue is somewhere else. Do you really raise your children to be influenced by music, ridiculous lyrics and “erotic” music videos? I hope not, and I hope that children are no as foolish as the studies are trying to present them.
