Why do we protect our kids from seeing sex more than violence? (1 Viewer)

[Epic Problem]

Get with the program, ok?  I don't WANT my kids watching anything having to do with sex or violence but can only do so much.

Maybe a little less internet time would help you focus on that task.

Well since all my kids are married with kids I do doubt it.

Epic, be cool little man, ok?

Then why are you worrying about what they're watching?

I fully admitted it was irrational.

Didn't see that part- carry on.  

Like somebody joked, I pictured you at the beach with blindfolds on the kid.

This really has to be explained to you?

Dude, they were kids once upon a time, ok? And, I have grandkids.

Maybe try and get with the program and learn how to properly use tense when talking about the past? It might be asking a lot, but I believe in you.

Lol.

That is doubled in the US

European countries are a lot more open and free with sexuality 

Yeah, but they're a bunch of euros. No thanks.

This is really a question?

It's religion's fault.

Every religious belief in the history of the world is collectively at fault for this one issue? LOL

I wonder what kind of society we would be if we just saw boobs all the time like it was nothing.

Pretty much.

Duh. Awesome Society!

Iceland and Denmark, which have probably the most liberal sex policies in non-3rd world countries, have some serious issues with being that way.  Incredibly high abortion rate.  Significant number of kids born out of wedlock.

The United States falls middle of the pack in these stats. 

Our policies obviously stem from Protestants forming this country, and their beliefs about sex almost being a bad thing. 

As for violence, I think it's because people are less likely to act when it comes to violence than they are to act on their sexual urges.  Which is likely true.  The % of 18 year old kids that are   going to go Die Hard on everyone is ridiculously small.  But the % of 18 year olds that are going to have sex irresponsibly is pretty darn high. 

The issue we have now is that those acting violently have access to weapons that can do more destruction than they did 100 years ago.  So these incidents have become a huge problem.

I guess my opinion is that a kid is mature enough to not ape what they see on a movie or they are not.  I don't think them seeing a sex scene in a movie is what is going to put them over the edge of wanting to do that or not.   IMO them having sex irresponsibly has zip to do with what they see on screen and more about how educated they are about the topic.  

Also, is there a correlation to fewer marriages in general and kids born out of wedlock for those countries?
