摘要
Given the potential for sexual discussions in the media to relate to adolescents' attitudes and behaviors regarding sex, we conducted a content analysis to examine how multiple categories of sex content were referenced in all subtitles of all episodes (as of the end of 2019) of eight Netflix-original and adolescent-directed series. Overall, across all eight series, references to sexual interest were most common, followed by references to sexual behavior. References to the risk and negative consequences of sex and references to sexual precaution seldomly occurred. "Rape " was the most frequently occurring term related to sex, followed by the term "kiss. " As for each individual series, analyses revealed distinct patterns of the specific categories of sex referenced. In general, these findings offer an overview on the different types of sex content referenced in Netflix-originated adolescent series and suggest that adolescents may potentially be affected differently upon exposure to different patterns of sex references in these series.
