After reading Part 1 of Sex, Love, and You by Tom and Judy Lickona, I was pleasantly surprised.

Any money they make, have, are give, etc can go movies, food, and material things--making them a prime target for advertising agencies and marketing companies. The sentence at the top of page 21 best describes the effect of this: "Eventually, the...
