It's not just that the media has become more racy; overall we're a lot more tolerant. I don't think that's a bad thing. If someone wants to make a racy and suggestive song, let them. They'll face whatever societal consequences needed depending on the content.

Why are you so interested in banning suggestive content?
That's exactly what I meant when I said that we as a society have been desensitized to all of the raunchy content in our lyrics and music videos. And I'm okay with some of it, but I'm concerned that it might be going too far now. And why would the big name record companies even condone this stuff, anyway?
