Abstract
This study analyzed seduction scenes in movies and tv shows relating to the sexual scripts and how quickly it can turn into sexual assault. The way that sex and consent is taught in the U.S. is unhealthy and can often lead to unrealistic and problematic expectations which is reflected in media and entertainment. Toxic masculinity is also examined to explain the male need to exert power over women often in destructive and violent ways, as well as to give reason as to why men are the main perpetrators of rape and sexual assault. A content analysis was used for this study examining five tv shows and movies to see how seduction and sexual scripts are being depicted in entertainment and what consequences derive from them.
