What's worse for kids to see in movies - sex or violence?

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

Sex is the lesser of the two "evils".

[QUOTE="psychobrew"] 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.psychobrew

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 never said it was easy, I just said I could be tempted and violence is absolutely a natural instinct, as demonstrated by nearly every society ever.

Violence will always be around, kids can wait to learn about sex, seriously, kids should not be exposed to it that young.

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's been a long time since we watched people die like a sport event, and an even longer time since the days of the gladiators who were forced to fight to the death. If violence is an instinct, it's a much weaker one than sex is, but I think it's more likely the desire to grab the highest spot you can on the sociological ladder that's the instinct and violence is just the most convenient means to that end. Besides, it's good for a kid to get roughed up every once in a while.

these movies need to stop, they say its for the sake of art, you know what? I can draw a lop sided square on my butt with a crayon and call it art...thats basically what rob zombie does, and he gets paid for it >.>

sex > violence. If I were an alien, I'd want to come to earth and get laid by some hot brazillian girl. Right now alies wont come here in fear of us launching lukes at them for violating air space, I wouldnt want to visit a planet where the most powerful man on that world killed 5,000 or so people in a massive coverup blaming it on terrorists...would you? The world would be happier if everyone could get laid and sleep with anyone they want. Self confidence would be through the roof, life in gerneal would be better if you could get rid of STD >.>, sadly, the hippies were right

sex, cause I can live with my daughter seeing the Leprechaun kill someone compared to seeing Sharon Stone and Michael D. grinding each other in Basic Instinct.Lostboy1224

Yeah, something along these lines.

You guys have flawed opinions. Obviously it's sex, because then kids will want to go and have sex at like 12, not because they have urges, but because they think it's cool. And since they probably haven't been taught at that age yet, they'll forget important things like condums and end up having a baby in their early teens. So, sex.

Sex in movies never gets too graphic, so I choose Violence... I'm 24 but I got pissed watching Tropic Thunder at the theaters with people bringing their kids like 6-12 and they're all like "hahahahahahahahahahhahah he's licking his head, hahahahhjgahfgakhgfakfgkajflafga"

It's so annoying. But when there's a sex scene in a movie and kids are present in the theaters, they shut up, *childish giggle*, or just go "ooooooooh"

I think sex is worse. Sure, it's great, but I'd much rather let my kids see a little bit of violence than seeing a person getting laid.

Violence,sex is a natural thing.People spaz about sex but seriously,it's not that big a deal.If it's such a bad thing than why do people do it?Scooter540

It's only viewed as a bad thing because people don't want their kids to see it, and then go do it.

Hard to say. A child can become desensitized to violence, ifs/he watches it too much, which is dangerous. On the other hand, watching sexual acts as a child could cause relationship issues later on in life, so I'd say they both have the potential to take away a bit of innocence from a child.

If were talking just seeing it once, like in one movie, I'd say it's pretty harmless.

I'll say niether

Violence, because even if they know it isn't real, they become desensitized to it and that is dangerous.Lindsosaurus

Violence. Kids always discover sex sooner or later, but extreme violence can be really disturbing.Legend1315

Sex: A normal part of Human existence, something humans need to do for the species to survive.

Violence: Something most everyone wishes that we could eliminate, in the end it helps no one.

Hmm I wonder.

I wouldnt have any kid watch any of the two at an early age.

I suppose you mean very violent gory scenes and actual porn respectively.

Violence is much worse then a bit of skin.

TC has to clarify.

Violence. I would let them see rated R films around ten or so. I could care less if my kids were exposed to sexual footage in a film..

By deploying all the negative aspects you have done nothing more than prove that everything can have bad consequences and those consequences to do not determine whether or not said issue is ok or not. :|
