Catherine Townsend
A sex and dating columnist, Catherine Townsend published her first novel Sleeping Around: Secrets of a Sexual Adventuress in 2007, and followed up with Breaking The Rules: Confessions of a Bad Girl in 2008. She also appeared in How To Have Sex After Marriage on Five, and is now writing a third book. Born in Arkansas, Catherine was a gossip columnist for New York Magazine before moving to London in 2003, since when she has had a very interesting - and pretty public - private life...
I'm a bit sceptical of the new study published in the American Journal of Preventative Medicine, that links high exposure between lyrics that describe degrading sex and early sexual activity in teens. The study, which reportedly found that those who frequently listened to music by artists like 50 Cent were more than twice as likely to have had sex than those who had the least exposure, only involved one group of teenagers in a low-income inner city school...surely these kids could have been high risk before they started listening to the music, rather than the other way around?
