Mhmm... I agree. Nudity is innocent and natural. SEX is (not always innocent, hehehe) also natural. It's how we reproduce ... why should this be some kinda tabu? We owe everything to sex.
It's funny how religion can influence society like that. The sex-tabu is something christianity put upon us here in the west. Would you believe that the catholic church up to some 200 years ago actually ran their own brothels? And now it's all "sex is bad and should only be done after you're married". I'm not quite sure what changed them all along the way, but whatever it is it still "haunts" us. I'll have to watch a couple of episodes of Penn & Teller: Bullshit! to refresh my memory I guess.

As Rachel said; it doesn't work. In the end kids (or whoever) will be able to do what they wanna do, even if you want watchdogs to stay over them 24/7 like some DDR-duplicates. When someone wants to experience something new or is simply curious about something they WILL find ways to find out about it. They may like it or not ... but nothing will stop a curious human from doing what it wants, and that's GOOD!
We should try to be abit more loose on these things. We have several examples in _this_ forum that porn won't hurt your child. It won't become an evil rapist. And we have maaany examples in this forum that volent movies won't hurt your child, for sure. It won't become a serial killer. Me, and many others with me (plus years of years with studies) proves that computer games won't hurt you child ... you should be amazed how well they actually can tell fact from fiction. YES, they will sometimes act that they are "their hero in a movie or a game" - this mostly goes for boys I guess
But without their little movie heroes they will find other characters just like them that they can play. They will be pirates and play that they tar'n'feather someone. They will be ninjas that assassinate some general. They will be policemen or soldiers gunning down "bad guys". It's all games. They do not think this is all serious... And when it comes to porn and veeery young children, like 6-7-8 years old, they will find it disgusting and won't watch it. Boys don't even wanna be hugged by girls cause it's "icky". And when they're about 12 they are out of the danger zone imo (if there is one at all)...
