So much of the time children are sheltered from sex, but not from
violent imagery.
You know from what I've seen children are pretty quick to find what
we try and shelter them from. Shoot, back when I was about 13 or so
there was a tv show on cable called Midnight Blue. It was pure sex. I
was fascinated. My mother had no idea I'd found such a thing, she
probably also had no idea such a thing even existed. Then sometime
later while we were renting a house on Martha's Vineyard I found a
stack of Penthouse magazine under the bed....
The kids in our would now have internet to browse, and movies, heck,
sex is everywhere...
Now my question recently to a friend was how does one define erotica?
Our society seems to be rather sheltered itself from sexuality and
erotica. Other cultures walk around naked, "worship" the phallus, and
make love in public. Us? Nope, sex is feared. As for me, I'll keep it
in the bedroom, after all we do have kids with us now and then.......
