   While I do not see a problem with adults engaging in erotic sex perpetuated by exposure to sexual explicit media. I do feel that it can have an adverse impact on the development of a child when their brains are undergoing the dramatic growth in their youth, if the exposure is sexually perverse in nature.

   I also believe that Americans are, for the most part prudish and suppress their sexual nature in fear of public perception which can also adversely impact a youth growing up.

   When you have NATURAL feelings and are caused to feel that they are wrong…well that just leads to a conflict within ones self and can lead to other actions of ethical or moral misconduct.

   All in all, I feel that our children should not feel guilty of sexual desire or facination, rather they should just be guided to what it is about and why they are feeling the way they do and what consitutes positive sexual expression. Once they are fully developed and want to experiment in other areas of sexual expression, well, that should be between them and any consenting partner.

   Puritism in my opinion and the suppression of ones sexual nature is what causes most of our sexual deviency in our society. That and our inability to effectively guide and teach our children.

   However as stated before , exposure of grossly perverse sexual material to a child is most likely detrimental to their development.

   Seeing a person naked should not, however be a bad thing.

   I’m with Jeff on that one, porn is bad for kids. From my experience perverse materials early on do cause problems that are life long. What exactly is considered early on, I’m not sure.

   I first saw porn when I was 9 and I turned out to be a pervert. That being said, I was raised under a strict semi-purist mother which caused a great deal of guilt to be associated with anything sexual. While we had surprisingly open conversations about the science of sex, the details were never realized. The only visuals I had were from nude magazines my brother found in a dumpster. Naturally this caused a more fantastical view of women, sex, and sexuality.

   Not having all the factual information, be it taboo or not, is the facilitator of sexual fantasy. And in my opinion the continuing fantasy of sexual acts is considerably more dangerous than porn itself. And certainly more dangerous than not revealing all the facts and explaining the pros and cons of actions.

   Sexual fantasy unabated by consequences lends itself to be obsessed over and if unchecked will lull the participant into disregarding valid negative aspects of the fantasy as it matures. In my opinion this is how heinous sexual acts (among others) come to fruition. The participant is too immersed in the fantasy to fully realize the negatives of ones actions…Until later.

   I do not believe people would pursue particularly disturbing fantasies if they fully understood the consequences of such actions early on and curbed their fantasies. Of course these consequences would have to be factual not sensational.

   You can reduce perversion but I don’t believe it ever goes away. Perversion is a threat to everyone and everything around you.
