I like G-rated movies! (Well, actually, I haven't seen enough movies to know what I'm talking about.)

Much interesting stuff, phoaks. Myself, I've had my stomach turned by a few folk songs, and I don't like porn. But I don't necessarily think that rating anything can work in the long run... for the same reasons that Grab and Hollowfox stated. Children's stories are pretty graphic sometimes, and children themselves can be pretty bloodthirsty. I remember wishing to boil people in oil when I was being tormented by the other kids in public school, when now I would be horrified to have that happen to anyone, even to my "enemies".

Not only that, but another music team member of hero6 was unable to access my work to evaluate it, because his parents had installed a rating system that objected to "brassfire". Go figure.

Now, on to sex. Maybe children would have a better chance of having less hangups about sex than the "normal" population if sex itself was almost normal? Not relegated to "adult" movies and porn, and always behind locked doors?

Also, does a graphically sexual song have the same effect on a child's psyche as a movie of the same thing?

In some cultures, the parents and the kids (and sometimes other relatives) are all in the same bed, even. That must be pretty open about sex, by default... Is a rating of sexual content too "americanized"?

Just some more thoughts on this.
