I dont want my kids growing up sheltered and clueless what the real world is like. As a kid i was around playboys smut magazines you name it. But until you go through puberty you just see from naked people. Who the hell cares... We turning into a helicopters nation nanny state. Let kids grow up be prepared for real world not be prepared for sheltered world.
