I fail to understand it completely. Must be some of the "thought killing cliches"[1] thing. Just compare it with the attitude to violence and it's absurd. Think of all the video games where you can kill, bomb, stab, bludgeon, splash the brains out of your enemy and the age of kids playing them. Well, technically maybe 12 years old should not supposed to be playing those games, but nobody cares much if they do. No imagine there is a game with similar amount of realism, only related to sexual activity. Now imagine 12 years old playing it. What can of scandal would that be, and how many years in jail would producers and anyone letting the child play get? Who would be called creeps, perverts and worst possible humans ever?

So if you enjoy images of death (not only games, movies too) you are normal, and everything is ok. But if you enjoy images of naked people and depiction of sex, something is very wrong with you. Despite that most people never kill, and most people have sex, and all people have bodies.

How is this not twisted?
