Thanks for posting your comment. By the way, I love your website. It is very nice. I agree with some parts of the article you posted that if children are exposed to hypersexualized images in mainstream media and pornography it is confusing for kids as they develop their own sexuality. But as a society we have the ultimate control to properly integrate or change how we preceive and receive these messages. And I don’t believe that pornography or sexualized marketing images contributes to violence perpetrated against women. The best way to protect children and free speech is to urge parents to talk their children about this issue and control what they watch through any technology tools necessary. Parents’ influence is the most powerful tool and, I think, can effectively guide children in their moral development. I was always told what my dad did for a living was for adults only. I didn’t see the inside of his stores until I was 26 years old and that was by my choice. I hope this answers your question. Thanks for reading this post.

I appreciate your humble approach and desire to have stronger research. I agree.

What do you think about this article?

What do you think would be a good way to keep freedom of speech in place, but prevent the “bad porn that teeters on the edge of just too much…” as you mentioned? How do we draw that line? How do we protect children?

Thanks again for your civil post—its much easier to engage people who are trying to be logical and level headed in their approach. (-:
