Parents More Concerned About Sex Than Violence In Video Games

just shows how sexually frustrated americans are ....phony screw ups.

I believe the title of the game is Mortal Kombat....children were not actually engaging in mortal combat....


The results of this poll are disturbing. Sex is a normal activity that kids are going to find out about at some point....though responsible parents would shield their children to a reasonable degree.

Brutal violence such as beheadings has the potential to emotionally scar a child. I would think that preventing kids from playing T- or M-rated games until they are emotionally prepared to do so would be the right thing to do for a responsible parent.

The "guy" who wrote this article is an idiot......it was obviously written by a stupid male who doesn't have any children because he acts like kids watching people have sex is totally OK.

The poll was dead on!

Americans are prudes for sure. Sex is natural. A severed head is not. Get real people get real.

I agree with Simzeee, and I'm American!

The American people overreact waaaaaaay to much when it comes to any sexual activity even obliquely referenced in any form of pop culture. So it would make sense that Norwegians would find a severed head worse; it's been my experience that European cultures are more accepting when it comes to sex.

Just shows how narrow-minded many Americans are.

Oh, but letting your kids watch someone get beheaded is perfectly OK.

What, do you write children's programming for Hamas or something?

I always surprised that people in the USA have a huge hang up on sex and don't mind if young children see brutal and hard core violence.

While at the same time they seem to idealize trashy teens that are 16 and pregnant (The younger Spears girl) and support all the socialites with sex tapes by allowing their own kids to buy the 'line' of clothes or what ever materials goods they can sell.

Ever wonder who makes up these violent games? Why people in the USA are so willing to let young children watch killing? Indoctrinate them into accepting it as entertainment ?

Oh PLEASE, PATRICIA. I stumbled across my first pornographic video when I was TWELVE, sat there and watched it, and it didn't do anything to harm me. I'm 20 years old and I just got accepted into a lucrative architectural company as an apprentice architect, with only a half year of college education. You REALLY wanna sit here and tell me that sexual content somehow "corrupts" children? Pfft, woman, please. Just cuz hubby ain't givin' you any cuz your bags are sagging doesn't mean a thing. Grow up, and let your kids do the same.

Sex is not a game, and comes with consequences, not taught in video games.

I think parent need to talk to there childern and let them know all good and bad things about sex.It may not stop them,but will know how to protect them selves.

Hey retards, this survey was done online. That means the globe takes part in it. Who said all the participants were Americans?

I think all is clear now in America,, and we wonder whats up with Americas youth,,DA

Rick, you SO do not work for the FBI, you can't even spell. Do you know what kind of people the FBI recruits? People at the top of their class, and their game.

There has never, EVER, been a study that showed a direct correlation between viewing pornography and sex crimes. Of all the people who watch porn (and there are a LOT of us), less than half a percent is likely to commit ANY crime, much less one that is sexual. Sexual assault and serial killing is about POWER and control of a victim, not sex. Sex is not the cause of the behavior, it is the WEAPON they use.

So quit lying. If you need to come onto a comment board and lie to make yourself feel important, that's just sad.

It's moronic for those who are repressed and inhibited to try to impose their unhealthy intolerant "morality" on others. The very people who most vociferously criticize people with a well adjusted view of sexuality themselves exhibit poorer morals. They are fighting against their own nature and trying to bring their war to the culture at large. Research indicates that fundamentalist Christians have the highest rate of divorce for instance: http://alphadominance.com/?p=416 Those who claim the highest morality are in fact the least moral among us. Atheists behave better than these imbeciles.
People are afraid of nudity and sexuality when they have guilt and shame issues over things which are a natural part of humanity. These individuals need therapy, not to have popular culture or legislators listen to their intolerance. Even in the context of marriage we are one of the least sexually satisfied cultures on earth: http://alphadominance.com/?p=510
What healthy well adjusted Americans need to do is to embrace their sexuality, maintain the emotionally healthy approach to life and rub the noses of the uptight party poopers in it until they loosen up. If it were up to me we'd adopt the European model of normative sexuality, nudity in commercials, topless beaches being the standard, women being able to breastfeed in public without persecution and a sex positive attitude with rational sexual education for our youth to replace the dysfunctional inanity of the "just say no" approach. It's shown that unwanted pregnancy and transmission of venereal disease declines with realistic sexual education, not with the abstinence only approach. Just look at Sarah Palin's daughter. Classic case of what teaching stupid fundamentalist values results in. Spare me.
