The "girls in movies" thing is interesting, but I'm curious to see how it's changed with time. I wonder if it follows the gender roles of women from the early 50s to now in any manner at all.
As for the "purity balls," that is pretty disturbing. I know in mormon families it's drilled into their youth enough... isn't that taking it a step too far. And really, do you think it would help in a few years? They'll either be so scared of it they'll never be able to function normally as a sexual partner, or they'll ignore it and become rebellious.
Again, just my thoughts as I have never specifically researched child to adult sexuality.
