Pornography on YouTube
A group of anonymous types flooded YouTube with pornographic videos. It was bound to happen sooner or later. In this case, many of them were hidden. A video might start out as a kid vid, then in the middle switch to porn.
What interests me the most is the debate this started. People said kids can find porn anyway, parents are responsible if they let their kids visit YouTube, and 'welcome to the internet'. Others strongly disagreed. One said everyone who posted should get 25 years and be a registered sex offender (this one is rather odd as it came from the UK which doesn't publicly register sex offenders).
A few people said why are parents trying to protect their children from sex in the first place? It goes back to the "keep the kids ignorant and they won't do it" argument that continually falls on its face.
So how do you keep kids safe from unwanted pregnancy?
As we pointed out in http://loveshade.org/blog/2011/01/low_teen_pregnancy_rate_challe.html, in America the more kids were "protected" from sex in the 1950s the more likely they were to get knocked up. The teen pregnancy rate in America was lower in the sexually explicit 1990s than in the sexually repressive 1950s. In the early 21st century it's the lowest it's ever been since they started measuring it. And America's not alone. The teen pregnancy rate in the UK dropped 4 percent in a year as more young people were exposed to graphic sex. Censorship doesn't work.
Kids have been exposed to graphic violence in America for a long time. The United Kingdom is a little less open to violence or sex than America, but still rather confused. Apparently Americans and Britains are both more worried about kids being exposed to murder than to making love.
'I honestly don't understand the big fuss made over nudity and sex in films. It's silly. On TV, the children can watch people murdering each other, which is a very unnatural thing, but they can't watch two people in the very natural process of making love. Now, really, that doesn't make any sense, does it?' — Sharon Tate as quoted in Sharon Tate and the Manson Murders (2000) by Greg King

I am not against pornography on the internet. But I am against tricking people into watching it. That sucks.

Keeping kids ignorant never helps. Do you put a kid behind the wheel before you've taught them to drive? Of course not! You make sure they know all they need to do, and then you let them practice with your guidance.
You do that with language, math, and getting along with other people. Why should sex be any different?
But Vernon has a good point. You may not want to call up porn at work and want to be ready to discuss it if your kids find it.

I have a question. I see two pictures of pregnant girls in a row on this blog and one on the loveshade.org home page. I have to be curious why? Something going on? ;)

If guys look at porn they won't have the energy to have sex!
But posting in on Youtube is wrong. There's sites for that.

It sucks not to keep a link for someone I know--hi Misty!--but the guidelines for our website rather restrict me. This goes to what would, in common if nonsensical parlance, be reffered to as an "adult site." But for Misty's sake I'm putting it below with a "dot" for the first "."

It's wrong to fool people like that. But really why should kids be exposed to violence and not sex? Is it better for them to watch people murdering each other or making love?

Keep porn where it belongs not on YouTube. And could somebody put duct tape over Rev. Bootie and Sharon Tate's mouths?

Change YouTube to BoobTube.
