Chace Crawford plays Nate on Gossip Girl. Nate’s character this season has had a great story-line with a married cougar who he was constantly making out with. Chace says that he feels morally wrong about the sex scenes in the show.

“I come from a moral background, and I can see the power of the show, and imagine my old school-teachers cringing, or my grandparents thinking ‘Oh my God’ when they see me, say, having sex on a barstool. But you have to remember, this is not a reality show. It’s supposed to be pure entertainment.

“I don’t actually think people give enough credit to teenagers who watch the show. They’re not stupid, and it’s not like we’re making an instruction manual telling them how to drink and do drugs, or have sex. We’re just laying out how it is.

“My character is very conflicted, and even in the episodes where he’s having sex then dumping girls, there’s often regret. You know, there are repercussions to certain sorts of behaviour that come full circle.”

I still have talked about this show with other mom’s at the bus stop in the morning. We find the show is sometimes too hot for us to watch, nevermind, my 12 year old daughter. I think that it’s just fine for my age group thank you.
