how messed up are our values when a kid can watch some guy getting his brain cut open on CSI be perfectly ok but one naughty word or a nipple slip causes pandemonium?

I definitely agree about the hypocracy of allowing children access to violence but not sexuality. Though I think the main point here is still accurate, sexuality and hard-core porn are not exactly the same thing. Just as fantasy violence may skew the child's perceptions of what violence is really like, hard-core porn may do the same thing. My girlfriend actually brought this up the other day, saying she read an essay that due to pornography men's sexual expectations are beginning to change from what they were in decades past. I'd pretty much believe that, given that my own expectations have probably been shaped to some degree by pornography (and given this is an internet forum, I'm going to go ahead and guess I'm not alone here).
