to an extent, this pressure society puts on us, namely the media though, is the same as you kinda experience in high school or something. That is to say, we have to try to accept what is cool so we can be like evryone esle and fit in. Although the pressure is there, i'd like to think that once you get through this, you should have the ability to think for yourslef and make your own decisions, based on you "gut instinct" or free will (biology). Maybe the media still unconsciously effects us all, though i dunno.
They also show sexuality as merely the physcial quantifiable body, whereas it is more than that..well maybe not to some people. Although i think thats where we have some ability to escape its programming.
