It is like a friend of mine and their kids. They have two kids a boy who is 16 and a girl who is 14. They will not let them watch a movie that has nudity or sex of any kind in it, but they have no problem with them watching movies where people are graphically blown apart. The same with video games. The kids can play all the violent video games they want.
When I ask them why they say the kids are not ready to see the nudity or sex. So I say, "So in your opinion they are not ready to see something normal and natural that everyone ends up doing and is often an expression of love, but you are okay with them seeing a guy cut off a guy's arm and then use that severed arm to beat other people to death with?"
They have it in their heads that violence has no effect on the kids because they know it is fake, but somehow seeing a naked woman will cause their heads to erupt.
I did have to laugh when I once said, "Here's a news flash. Your son is 16, there is a pretty good chance he has a stash of porn somewhere and he beats of ferociously to it." The mom refused to believe it, but the father agreed with me.
