A Problem with Genitals
Have you ever noticed in this country, and other countries for that matter, that we are largely accepting of brutal violence and mayhem, but are oddly judgmental and damming when it comes to sexuality? Sure, no one wants to plop their child in front of a horror film and watch someone get their eye sucked out, and certainly I can understand that gratuitous sex is a bit mature for the wee ones. However, the simple sight of a penis on film is often met with unease, upset and upheaval. Breasts are a bit more common these days, but still there is largely an issue with sexuality displayed on television, and not merely the act of sex. Often all that is needed to stir a fury is the sight of genitals. Are we not all born with genitals? Do we not see them when we go to the rest room? Perhaps, instead of hiding people from this very basic, very natural sight we should accept the reality: we all have them and they are ok to have… and see!!! Perhaps, this is the cure for the large amount of perversion pervading our society.

I agree. I also think some self examination is needed when we are okay with war and violence, but we (US society at least) somehow cannot handle GLBT. Isn't love a basic element of humanity?
