Same here. I am not suggesting we should all shelter our kids for the so called "real world" but as a parent, I certainly feel it is my responsibility to teach my own kids about life, sex and what is appropriate instead of letting them learn it from ads and TV shows and movies. For this reason, we screen our TV shows and movies for the kids. Why any normal parent would find it acceptable to let their kids be exposed to smut on a daily basis, is beyond me. I guess some of us have higher standards than others and are willing to take on the challenge or raising our kids the right way.

Get off your pedestal :lmao: If you teach your kids good from bad what is the problem? Sex is not bad so when you censor those things, you teach them it IS bad. All you can do is your best and hope your kids don't have enough defective genes to make too many errors in life.

So uptight ladies...one guy I dated for a very long time liked to walk around with his hand on my ass or just inside the back of my jeans. This was in Walmart, McKay's, Lowe's and I LIKED IT. Would you cover your kids eyes?

Did you let him do it in classy places like Target, Dress Barn or Food Lion? :killingme

So you'd let a 10 year old go to pornRus.com? There are times when you want to censor things, I think.

This picture wasn't porn, but it wasn't appropriate for just anyone to go by.

what? What? WHAT?

THAT is the picture the OP found so offensive?

Good god...

If your future "sheltered kid breaks out and turns into a whore" asks whats going on tell her its a man getting a physical from a nurse.

And yes, my quoted words are exactly what we called your kids growing up. There parents attempted to shelter them from anythign remotely bad.

Guess what? In 9th grade about 90% of them turned out to screw the 12th grade quarterback.

Don't listen to her, Dork. You have the right idea by wanting your children to be exposed to these things at an age-appropriate level. The reason we have so many teen pregnancies and middle schoolers having sex is because it's been glamorized by the media and parents are too lazy to police what their children are doing.

I do not think it's enough to simply say, "If you don't want your kid to see it, lock them up until they're 18". At some point there is a societal responsibility to not expose children to smut. Teaching your children is all well and good, but when they're hit with a barrage of inappropriate marketing on a daily basis, and pressured by their peers to act a certain way lest they be called a baby, parents are facing a mountain of resistance.

Dye, sex for children IS bad. They're not old enough to handle it emotionally or intellectually. Then there are various diseases they can contract (not to mention pregnancy) because they're not mature enough to take precautions. As adults, we have a responsibility.

Yes Dork, don't listen to me. Teach your kids that sex is bad, not how to handle it and right from wrong. Don't teach them responsibility, put blinders on them. Teens got pregnant before these pics, I know I was one. They will just sneak over to a friends house to see all the "bad" stuff and listen to rap and dirty dance and play video games. Keep 'em sheltered and see what happens.

I don't know as I'm particularly offended by this ad campaign - it's not really all that - but I don't understand why sex sells. Are we really that pathetic that we think a pair of jeans will get that young hottie to let us fondle him?

Apparently so because all the "cool" companies do it. But I'm more likely to buy LL Bean than A&F - I'm fairly okay with who I am and not really interested in trying to be some skinny kid with half her clothes off.

Well, this isn't really about talking to your kids about sex. Certainly every responsible parent does that. This is more having sex actively marketed to kids, encouraging them to participate. And don't say that it's just TV or whatever - kids emulate pop culture, which is how it gets to be pop culture in the first place.

What would be wrong with not having sexual images all over the place? Would that somehow hurt anyone? I don't really understand it.
