In Emily Stables article, "Getting the Government in Bed: How to Regulate the Sex-Toy Industry" described the problems with sex toys, the double standards for sex toys and the possibilities for regulating sex toys (Stables, 2013). There is a huge selection of sex toys in almost any sex shop in the United States (U.S). However, Griffin and McGwin Jr. (2009) as cited in Stables (2013) stated, one recent study found that "6,799 individuals over age twenty sought emergency room care... injuries caused most often from vibrating devices (73.5%), followed by dildos (12.9%), other/unspecified devices (11.7%), and rings (1.9%)" (Stables, 2013). The damage sex toys causes are generally due to design flaws, lack of proper warnings and chemicals contained
... what the long term effects are to the human body, and the FDA needs to put a distribution policy in place where minors will not be able to buy an e-cigarette. All of these things must occur soon to save many lives and people how are about to make a big mistake. E-cigarettes are an unsafe alternative to cigarettes.
The value of a woman as a mother, wife, sister, daughter or aunt has been replaced for sexual please. Greed and perversion disguised as men chose to debase America’s women and children for their own selfish gain. Child sexual exploitation is the most hidden form of child abuse in the U.S. and North America today. It is the nation’s least recognized epidemic. The overwhelming majority of children forced to sell their bodies on the street are girls. Young boys face hardship and abuse as well, but they often fend for themselves to survive. The girls, on the other hand, inevitably fall victim to pimps and organized trafficking networks. (Sher, pg. V)
Religion and other value systems are certainly crucial in defining and sanctioning sex and decency. Moslem countries tend to frown upon all kinds of salacious displays and even indirect sexual references. Similar Christian standards operate in such countries as Ireland, South Africa, Mexico, and the Philippines. Other cultures may be considered rather tolerant in sexual matters (for example, French commercials on public television readily show live semi-nude models) but may prohibit any show of pubic hair (Japan), the promotion of contraceptives (France), or the lewd use of women (Scandinavia and the Netherlands) in advertisements. Values change, however. Thus, the spread of AIDS has reopened the issue of advertising condoms and other contraceptives in a totally different context, which transcends the older concerns about birth control and venereal-disease prevention.
Fierce healthcare reported sometime in June of 2012 that hospitals across the country had received safety report cards from one Leapfrog group. They reported that most facilities got a C or below in the rankings. The report also showed that the biggest hospitals such as the Henry Ford Hospital in Michigan barely got a passing grade. The report cards were meant to inform patients and also to motivate improvements in patient safety, they were faced with a lot of criticism and controversy especially from hospitals that did not pass. This paper will discuss the controversy facing patient safety in the U.S. It will also analyze the effects of the issue and the solutions suggested and currently in place to solve the issue.

In the American culture today, women are becoming more sexualized at a younger age due to the influences of the corporate media. Corporate media and society form the perfect idealistic body that women should have and is constantly being promoted making younger girls start to compare themselves to them at a young age. Certain shows and movies, such as Disney, influence young children and teenagers through their characters as to how a woman is supposed to be accepted. The way the corporate media and society make this body image they want women to have starts in a very early stage in a woman's life without them knowing. There are these childhood movies, such as Disney, Barbie and Ken dolls, programs such as Netflix, teen magazines, and the most common source of them all, the internet.
Not surprisingly the lack of useful sexual information is one of the reasons of the spreading sex related diseases. According to The American Social Health Association (1998) each year there are near ten million of new cases of sexually transmitted diseases among the teenage...

The truth, however, is that the general population of men in this country is getting older. The proverbial baby-boomers are on the cusp of reaching a stage in their sexual life where dysfunction is no longer a weakness in ‘littler’ men, but a reality. As such, erectile dystfunction (or impotence) has become a headlines making issue, from the physiological explanations behind it to the social implications that come with being impotent.
Pornography has been a controversial topic throughout history. With the advent of the V.C.R. Pornographic film industry blew up in the 1980's then again with the Internet in the late 1990's. With the knowledge that wealth could be attained by anybody beautiful enough and willing to have sex on camera, the industry exploded with tons of new talent. Unfortunately, there are severe risks involved in the pornographic film industry: STD'S, mental health disorders, drug addiction, and other harmful affects that should have potential performers thinking twice.
Joyce Garity’s essay, “Is Sex That All Matters?” tells about sexual problems of teenagers. Elaine lived with a family who she knew; she was pregnant with her second child when she was seventeen. Elaine also did not have custody of her first baby. Therefore, people should know that sex might have bad problems for anyone. Garity uses Elaine as an example to discuss sexual advertisements, fantasies of teenagers, and sex education can influence negatively people.
Pregnancy is not the only consequence young people face when engaging in unprotected sex. They also accept the possibility of contracting a sexually transmitted disease. The Center for Disease Control reports that an estimated 10-12 million people contract some type of STD every year. This number has quadrupled in the last twenty years. An alarming one in every five Americans from the age of twelve and on are reported with herpes every year. Consequently women suffer this disease at an ungodly figure: one in every three women become infected with herpes every year (www.thriveonline.comhealth/Library).
Again, sex is an important factor in the survival of the human race, but it has turned into an addiction when we risk our health to get it and when people let it consume their minds. According to Top Ten Reviews, every second 28,000 people are viewing a porn site and every 39 minutes a new porn video is made in the United States (Internet). Every weekend people will risk their health and even safety to satisfy a need by having one night stands with people they had just met, resulting in the startling statistic that 79 million Americans have HPV, the most common STI, with around 14 million new people becoming infected yearly (Genital). Even if it 's not the physical act, sex appeal is everywhere. It 's on a child 's favorite television show, it 's on the billboards that are passed on the freeway or on Carl’s Jr commercials with scantily clad women eating oversize cheeseburgers. For decades society has been marketed with sex because companies know there is a natural
