I agree for the most part, Miss B, however we can highly sensitize our children by setting the bar too restrictively, especially boys. We should communicate with our children about their bodies, and therefore desensitize them from extreme curiosity, I speak from personal experience.

It is easy for females to completely misunderstand male sexuality, a wise father is very important in this area. It is a powerful thing, and if it can be moderated by education and appropriate exposure, that is a very good thing.

Good post.

We then watch a John Wayne movie with Maureen O'Hara and she was kissed by John Wayne. Our son was horrified! I think he was 6 or 7 years old. When he saw John Wayne kiss Maureen, he said, "Isn't she already married?!!!" He almost started crying.

So, that got me to thinking. All of these actors and actresses are married in real life to someone else, yet they share some intimacy on screen. Would that be considered adultery in God's eyes? Are we supporting this by watching and buying their movies?

PO,
Maybe that is a bit like being horrified that a married lady has a male doctor???

This instruction on this subject is sorely needed!! Young boys need instruction in how to deal with their sexually very early on. I believe much of the problem with porn, is simply guys never understanding how to deal with their sexuality, and then it can become a horrible cycle of guilt.

I believe you are so right!

Too much shielding and protecting can backfire on you.

Yes indeed. Those that get no direction or education are the ones who have no idea how to respond to the changes and are trying to figure it out on their own.

LOL! I was sharing an experience we had and wanted to know how others viewed it. I'm pretty sure that none of my male doctors ever tried to kiss me. Not a good comparison, crakjak. LOL!

I used to act in our community theatre, although single at the time, I certainly wouldn't, today, take a part where I would be passionately kissing another man. I know my husband wouldn't appreciate it. LOL!

I do agree that being overly-sensitive is not always a good thing. You have to simply choose what works best for your family and not compare that to what others deem right or necessary for theirs.

I think that some movies are just too racy and indecent to be viewed. However, some otherwise great films sometimes have love scenes that are inappropriate for young audiences. I think these films, if viewed, should be viewed during "grown up time" without children present.

Imagine what would be on the screen if someone did a true-to-life film about the entire Bible...

Making love is part of life. No matter how we try to insulate ourselves and our children from it, we'll see it on occasion. As long as we keep ourselves and our children seeing this act in a biblical context, I believe things will be okay. However, I hope that our children get their image and concept of making love from parents and not Hollywood.

Key concept is education and balance.

I agree, wouldn't want my wife doing that, even acting!! My bad!

Right, it could get a little sticky! LOL! That's why I asked what others thought about it. I remember Goldie Hawn saying that she never watches anything with Kurt kissing another woman. I don't know how they can all live in peace!
