Definition of Sexy
Seductive images of models in ads, music, and videos showing girls dancing in skirts the size of belts and even video game heroines flaunting skimpy outfits are considered a cultural norm in today’s twenty-first century lifestyle (Khidelkel, 2008, p. 153). According to a cosmogirl.com poll, 81 percent of their readers feel bombarded with sex and sexy images in the media, and 85 percent think there’s more sex in the media now than in their youth (Khidelkel, 2008, p. 153). A recent Newsweek poll found that 84 percent of American adults say sex plays a bigger role in popular culture than it did 20 or 30 years ago. Celebrities and models who set the unspoken standard for adolescents have promoted the need for girls to look sexy. In 2007, the American Psychological Association released a report concluding that girls exposed to sexualized images from a young age are more prone to three of the most common mental health problems for girls and women: depression, eating disorders, and low self-esteem (Khidelkel, 2008, p. 155).
