According to the media practice model (MPM), developed by Jeanne R. Steele and Jane D. Brown in 1995, everyday activities play a significant role in shaping an adolescent's emerging identity and experiences. The MPM focuses on the intersection of factors such as gender, ethnicity, and risky behaviors with mass media use. Their Adolescents' Media Practice Model highlights how young people select, interpret, and apply media to their lives, with an emphasis on the impact of sexual media on their sense of self. The MPM suggests that adolescents actively choose and respond to sexual media content that resonates with their emerging sexual identity. This poses challenges for abstinent Christian men who are navigating media with sexual content.
