S-E-X

In the article, Tiefer writes, "Nonfiction media are dominated by a health model of sexuality." Not always. What about the real life people on reality TV shows such as The Jersey Shore or The Real World, where sex is represented as an emotionally-detached pastime? And the romanticized expectations of sex the author talks of; what about the casual sex and friends with benefits on shows like Gossip Girls or Laguna Beach? I think sex has been portrayed as a more casual experience in pop culture today. Guys are on the "conquest" and girls are out to be that "conquest." These real-life people are also experts in that arena. We are learning a great deal about the sexual experience from these guys, too.
