goes along with freedom of speech...if parents don't want their kids seeing it then keep them away from it...there are many computer programs that block these sites and many parental blocking programs for television..
god forbid we expose children to one of the most natural things humans can do...not to mention one of the healthiest....
we shouldn't be raising children to believe that sex is a bad thing or that it's "naughty" and/or "dirty"...we should be educating them about it and making sure they know how to do it safely and make sure they understand that this isn't something you should do with anyone and everyone.
no not everything in sex is clean and it's not always done in missionary position, but i don't see why we can't just show it how it ACTUALLY is...so when they get older they won't be traumatized or surprised by how it is.

No there shouldn't be any law passed that mandates what any person can read, view, or express.
There's a parable that reads, "one man's trash is another man's treasure." If a person doesn't want to be exposed to sex publicly or privately, they have the option to turn off the television, block channels, block websites, not buy the books and magazines that feature these sex acts, or simply ignore it all together.
Children do have easier access to adult material now than children did 20 years ago. But protecting and educating children about sex and sex acts lies with the parents and teachers of the children. It does not and should not fall on the government to instill moral and personal values to children.
People in this country have this overwhelming capacity to voice their freedoms to all those who can hear them. That is great and fine and we should do that, but we have to remember one thing about laws...the more laws that we pass, the less amount of freedom we enjoy.
Passing a law regulating what a person can read or view will be a catalyst for even more nonsensical laws in the future. But, if that's how people want to live their lives, I suppose that's their decision to make.
George Orwell might have been right about the future, he just missed the date by a few years...

No. I don't believe the government or any temporary majority should be deciding what information should be available. That's the entire concept of freedom of expression -- that people can read what they want.
There are some exceptions, like child pornography. The goal there is to protect children, so there is a valid reason to prevent people from producing works where children are harmed.
But morality is a personal and religious matter, and not something that should be imposed by force.

I think not, because sex isn't all nice, clean, wholesome missionary style. Sometimes there's hair pulling and A-S-S smacking and unless the film/footage will be displayed in a classroom (High school and under), the government should have no jurisdiction in what we choose to watch.

Only with regard as to the access of those materials by minors. Otherwise, no. I think it's a violation of first amendment rights to freedom of expression. So long as no one is harmed in the production of such materials, hey to each their own. I might find it distasteful, but just because I don't agree with the expression doesn't give me the right to limit it.

Nope. yet in line with possibility we would desire to constantly have better rules against the demonstrate of violence! intercourse = good, organic, exciting Violence = undesirable, immoral, hurtful Why can teenagers see action pictures/play video games with human beings being ripped aside, blown up and mutilated yet won't be able to see something approximately love and being concerned?

All books should be rated for content on the outside so people can decide if its appropriate for them.
No censorship of any kind

Absolutely not, just a parental warning. Nobody tells me what I can or cannot read.

Hmm yup, ban them all, it will be worth it.
