I'm gonna say sex because I think kids know that the violence is not real. Then again, a lot of the violence is pretty graphic......I don't know - tough call....

It depends on the context. Exploding heads and zombies biting people are fine for kids, but graphic gang violence and criminal activity are not. Simple nudity is fine but sexual activity is embarrasing to kids and not really suitable until they are much older. For example i would let a young kid watch a zombie movie but not a movie like Basic Instinct. Get the picture?

Violence is much worse for kids imo. Sex is a natural thing, and they are bound to be exposed to it sometime

Violence, I'm fine with my kids seeing nudity at any age, sex I'll save for after 8ish I don't want my kids seeing any really graphic violence until 12ish but they can watch horror movies and campy violence before that. Of course this can all be changed based on how mature they are. Toriko42
I heartily approve.

I don't know about you, but I can't remember a time when I wasn't powerfully attracted to an image of a naked women, and I have memmories dating back to a time when I was two years old. Sex is much harder to resist than violence is. Even very well rounded people who would never physically hurt someone can be tempted to cheat on their partner.It depends on the context.

Violence, because even if they know it isn't real, they become desensitized to it and that is dangerous.
So it's OK for kids to copy the sexual situations they see on screen?Well, since boobs usually pop up on the screen too quick for them to cover their eyes, I'd say violence since kids of that age would think it's cool to do what they see on the screen....

Violence. I'm tired of this "hee hee" society that we have when it comes to sexual matters. It gets on my nerves when someone giggles when I'm trying to have a serious discussion about anatomy.Vandalvideothen don't discuss it with immature people :P hehe. I would say violence.

Sex might be harder to resist for some people, just as violence is hard to resist for others. What's your point? Everyone can be tempted. I can be tempted into caving your head in with my boot heel, but I wouldn't, just the same as I wouldn't cheat on a girlfriend.
I think its easy for a lot of us to say one way or another, but until we all start having kids (god forbid) I don't know as anyone can say one way or the other that doesn't have kids. I don't want my kids watching graphic sex or violence until they understand what they're watching, which can come at any age. I'll let them decide what to watch and read about and judge the movies they want to see based on their experiences.
I'll also make sure I watch the movie before they do so I can say whether or not they can watch it. I can't even imagine how my kid would act if I let them watch some of the more graphic movies that I enjoy such as Clockwork Orange or Kill Bill or something of that nature. Those movies were graphic for ME when I was younger and still leave imprints in my mind as far as content is concerned.
Obviously sex, because kids can't seem to think to buy condums anymore and end up having 3 kids by the age of 19.

If it's easy for you to bash someone's head in, you have problems. Violence is not a natural instinct in a civilized society (it's usually a means to accomplish a goal more than anything else).Please Log In to post.
