Should she have? Or was she being extremist?

So you just see one person in the scene? Is it a male or a female? :ursofunny

No, I am blind in my right eye, so I close it when anything objectionable comes on the tv.

Then I hit pause rewind. LOL.

I thought it was a bit of an over-reaction. Didn't say anything, of course -- she can raise her kids as she sees fit.

And actually, I've done basically the same thing, but in a more extreme situation: a movie that my son (15 at the time, I think) wanted to see. I pre-screened it, and there was one scene that I didn't want him to watch. So I took him, with a pre-arranged signal for me to let him know when that scene started and ended. He closed his eyes. (Far as I could tell, anyway. :lol)

Appreciative of the humor, but no real responses here.

Are we all comfortable with nudity and graphic sexual scenes now?

It's a just a momentary shot and then goes onto something else, I don't worry about it. If it's lengthy, we fast forward.

Of course the textbook answer here is often "So if I put just a little poo poo in your cereal bowl it's okay?"

But more than that, do any of us find it amazing we now allow strippers and sexual deviants into our home, as long as they "keep it short?"

I'm not agains't media in itself,but we must be careful what we watch and listen to ,watching sex scenes is not good for anybody.What I hate is a movie might be pretty decent in itself,but they have to put gutter language in it.

Personally I like alot of the old black and white movies from yrs. ago.

I was more extreme when my son was younger. Sometimes I wonder if I was too extreme, but then, I'm not sure where I should have been either..

No. I usually read the small print on the DVD's. Nudity is out. "Some sensuality" (as it says on the cases) is out too but I wonder if that is too extreme sometimes. Not sure....may depend on what is in it.

I would like some serious replies too. Does anybody have any lines drawn for themselves?

Also, it seems to me that it should be the men drawing lines on this. I think it is problematic that it is often left to the women (like in Timmy's example).
