As of now I am thinking on doing my research paper on the sexed- up world we live in and the stereotype that all teenagers(especially males) think about is their sexual desires. For my main media source I will be using the movie American Pie for my point of reference. Yes we all know and love American Pie for its absurd sexual comedy, and we also know that in these American Pie movies, all the boys in the group seem to think about is sex, and they all end up getting some eventually whether it be from a random girl, a girlfriend, or even a mom. The kinky band girl, the weird guy who likes hot moms, the typical jock... they all get sex. one other source that I will be using is the Axe commercials and website. Axe is all about smelling good and attracting all sorts of beautiful women just because you are using their product. Is this true? no not really. their website even has a moaning noise when you go to click on a link to another part of the site. disgusting? yes I do believe it is... but once again this stereotype that the american teenager is all sexed up supports the idea that just by showing these obviously ridiculous commercials, one of these young men watching them will subconsciously hope that by buying the product, they too will somehow become this sex target and get all the women to flock to them. Another source i will be using is from a website that tells of statistics and facts about teen sex as of 2005 to show just how many teenagers are in fact having sex. This site will either disprove or support the stereotype that all American teenagers are sex obsessed. So far in my research, with having these 3 sources, I think this will be a good topic for my paper on the stereotypes of what goes on in the teenage mind regarding sex.

I like the idea your using for your paper another movie you could possibly use is Eurotrip. I think it may be difficult to expand on though because it is not so broad a topic.
