Its seems as if American culture is obsessed with sex. From music videos to commercials to teen movies: one cannot turn on his television without seeing a scantily clad woman or two people engaging in some type of foreplay.

Cliche refers to an expression that has been overused to a certain degree that it loses its original meaning. A cliche may also refer to actions or events that are predictable because of some previous events.
