Ahh, one of my favorite things to be frustrated about. I simply cannot comprehend why nudity and sex are considered so taboo.
Consensual sex is a common, highly pleasurable activity, required for the survival of our species. The naked body is the human form, pure and simple. It's not horrifying, disturbing, or wrong.
Violence, killing, and torture and supposed to be considered deeply wrong in most of our modern societies. If asked to choose what we'd rather see or have our children see in real life, two people enjoying sex or a person getting tortured to death, what would you pick? What would you rather show your child in real life, a dead body with maggots crawling out of a gunshot wound, or a naked woman?
People who are adamant about sheilding their children from sexual content while allowing them to watch violent programs baffle me. If you're afraid they are going to learn bad examples from watching sex or nudity - what does that say about violence? Is it healthy for a child to know a dozen ways to kill a person before he or she knows how the act of sex is performed?
Ahh, yes, Stargate Atlantis, the family show. Watch John Sheppard get tortured to the point of death by a blood-sucking monster. Enjoy a nice beheading. Perform involuntary medical experiments on your enemy, or starve him to death, or shoot him as he stands in a holding cell. Ohh, look Timmy, the bad guy has the preganant woman strapped to a table! I wonder if he's going to torture her?
Timmy, this is Ronon. Let's watch the bad guys perform surgery without anesthsia and hunt him like an animal while he relives all of the most violent and heartbreaking moments of his life. Ohhh, look! They're going to beat him up, too!
Wasn't that fun? Let's watch some SG-1! OhGodBoobs! Close your eyes close your eyes close your eyes they just took her clothes off! I'm sorry Timmy, if you saw that I promise we'll put you in therapy right away. You okay, sweetie? You're not getting any sexual urges, are you? We wouldn't want you kissing girls at school.
Here, let's stop watching TV, go play with your new Pirates of The Carribean sword set. Maybe you can reinact the mass execution scene from the beginning of the movie! Wouldn't that be fun?
