I watch television a lot during my free time and as I approach that age, where I consider my linage, I consider what would be suitable for my children. Therefore I have times when I watch television programmes with a skeptical eye and recently I came across an interesting television series on Music Television (MTV), Sex with Mom and Dad. Yes another reality programme!
What is MTV's Sex with Mom and Dad all about ? Well the creators of the series believe that though sex is prominent in our media not a lot of families speak about it with their teenagers. In some cases it may be the teen who wants to foster a relation ship with the parent(s) where sex can be discussed openly. And in other cases it may be that the parent(s) want to speak to the child about sex, sexual issues or sexual behaviour. All this is facilitated by Dr. Drew.
Dr. Drew uses various techniques to engage the parent(s) and the teenagers which actually work and help to create an open environment, though not all parties are eagerly receptive. At the end of the day the teens come out learning "Sex Education" and in some cases do test for Sexual Transmitted Infections (STIs). Most teens end up promising that they will use contraception or prophylactic but continue indulging in promiscuity.
What Do I Have to Say?
I think the program comes across as a good programme because it helps to bridge the gap between parent(s) and children allowing them to talk about sex. I won't go into what could possibly happen after the cameras are gone!
MTV's Sex with Mom and Dad is missing a vital component, discussions of sex within the proper context, marriage. I believe the enemy is good at giving us half truths and stirs us to use 'what ifs?' in order to justify our actions. He's been doing it from the beginning of time, check Genesis (Gen.3:3-4). Sex with Mom and Dad gives us half truth and is a good attempt but not good enough.
Have you watched the programme? What are your views?
