Re: Inoccent or guilty? Here's a question:
What exactly is wrong with a little boy seeing a naked woman
or a little girl seeing a naked man?
Our society has become so hung up on protecting our children from this so called "obscene" material. I mean, children at very young ages have natural hormones (sometimes raging) and strong curiosities embedded in their genetic makeup. Why does society want to oppress these curiosities instead of educating. Just look at the whole Janet Jackson BOOB fiasco. The American prudes were up in arms and they wanted heads lopped off because of that incident.
Last night, my wife and I were watching the reality show, Beauty and the geek. One of the challenges was that the guys had to use charcoal and draw a naked model that was in front of them. At the end of the challenge they showed the TV audience each drawing, and what do you think they did? That's right, they blurred a charcoal drawing of a naked woman. WTF is wrong with society?
Now I'll ask my question again:
What exactly is wrong with a little boy seeing a naked woman
or a little girl seeing a naked man?
And I dont want your predictable answer to be "It's just wrong" or " we don't want to corrupt our children".

Maybe because children aren't ready to fully comprehend the "education" you speak of? Worse, maybe they simply don't care... kind of like a 4 year old not getting their way... they don't care if you educate them how crying solves nothing. I think I understand your point, but I think there's a very fine line between what children should and shouldn't know because every child is at a different intelligence/maturity level making parents' decisions on when, or when not to tell "the whole picture" subjective to each individual child. Furthermore, you have the issue compounded when you have un-educated parents who either: also don't give a damn, or parents who do, but don't know who to trust, or where to turn so they do what everyone else does... the current fad of parenting, or turn back to their religion for guidance, all of which may be worse for any given child... I just think this is a very complex issue that has no easy solution; so many variables to consider.
