So...
50% of kids who listen to "sexually degrading" music have sex earlier, and
30% of kids who
don't listen to that music have sex earlier?
That doesn't sound like an astonishingly huge number. 30% compared to 50%? Does it show a possible correlation? Maybe, but the numbers aren't really that dramatic. To begin with, only HALF the kids listening to this "sexually degrading" music are having sex earlier- and a full 30% of those who don't listen to it are having sex earlier too.
I think this is more "coincidence as causation" than anything else. They don't at all take into account a myriad of other factors that lead young people to engage in sexual activities at earlier ages. For example, children who have been sexually abused in the past are more likely to start having sex earlier, and typically go through a period of hypersexuality when that happens, meaning they'd almost certainly latch onto any and all sexually charged music. That's just one example.
I think when all the other factors are accounted for, the numbers would be much closer- not that they're all that far away to begin with.

I agree totally.
