    A lot of Americans have shitty, immature, views on sexuality and the human body.

    I remember some coworkers and I chatting about it, and two of them both said they’d rather their kid watch a movie where someone got shot in the head than one where someone received oral sex.

        That’s not a contradiction, though. They genuinely believe it’s bad for children specifically and ok for adults. And I’d argue that overexposure to sexuality can be bad for children. But I’d also argue there are big differences in the sexuality depicted, the form of the depiction itself, and the age of the child.

          I’d argue that overexposure to typical porn can be bad for unsupervised children. Sexuality… not so much.
