This was posted on some forum regarding a game:

My son has been greatly enjoying Postal, so I’m sure he’ll like the zombies and the midgets, but can I somehow remove the nudity scenes? And how exactly nude are they?

Is it just me, or are people far more concerned with keeping kids away from nudity than from extreme violence? I can understand that both can he harmful, but I would like for someone to explain to me in what way is sexuality (partial nudity, references etc) more damaging to a child’s psyche than violence? After all, sex is something we all discover and enjoy at some point, whereas violence could be considered more… unnatural¹.

This comes up in video games repeatedly, but movies and other forms of entertainment also meet with the problem. Why is it that sex is so much less tolerable than violence²?

1. I do not consider something like a self-defence kill to be violent, but more of an expression of the survival instinct [↩]
2. Is religious pressure/dogma the only reason for this? [↩]
