It's strange how we have such a stigma against sex in the US, and yet we do so much to glorify violence. Nothing wrong with kids watching gory crime shows about messed up serial killers, but heaven forbid they catch sight of a nipple!
I don't know about you, but if I had kids, I'd hope they could grow up and have a healthy, satisfying sex life. I wouldn't want them participating in violence. Yet most people are conditioning their kids for the opposite.
Not at our house...we let our kids watch equal parts sex and violence so each are glorified with equality. ...I'm just kidding 🤣 But I would rather my kids see a sex scene than a gory abusive scene.
Ive thought a lot about this topic and I'm convinced many parents aversion to sex scenes, and their bizarre support of violence-is-okay-but-sex-scenes-are-not, is because of many parents' own sense of shame and discomfort with their sexuality. As in, it's okay kids for you to watch violent movies because that's just fantasy and the fictional dramatized actions of "others", but movies with intimate sexual scenes...that shit hits much closer to home for most parents! That's the stuff they are doing behind closed doors! It's real, they like to keep it hidden, and it makes many uncomfortable.
