I completely agree - I have always wondered about the sex vs. violence slant in the USA. I have always thought it extremely odd that people will gleefully watch a human body being shot, stabbed, beaten, blown up, sawed to pieces ... but people think viewing a naked human body is sinful and evil.

Personally, I refuse to watch violence at all, if I can avoid it. I have no use for that in my life at all. A gory murder or torture scene in a movie is incredibly disturbing to me. And while I don't watch pornography, a sex scene in a movie does not disturb me in the least. Nudity either ... we all have a body.

I did not let me son watch anything remotely violent or sexual when he was young. Those topics are not for children, period, IMO. However, now that he is seventeen and can watch what he chooses ... I would MUCH rather have him going to see a movie with naked women in it, than a movie glorifying violence.

Sex is a normal activity that all human beings are going to participate in. Violence is an abhorrent activity that we all hope never happens to us or anyone we know. So, which one should we be more concerned about watching? Hmmm...

I also agree that no movie or book should be banned, for adults. Free country. We should all be free to make our own choices about what we view. I just find the choice that we as a society seem to be making disturbing.
