Technically both sides are potentially guilty of grooming by sexualization of minors. I saw my first vagina under the supervision of heterosexuals in a bar when I was a child. Can't imagine it was planned, maybe I was supposed to be interested in the video games at the bar. But I seen't it and pardon the vulgarity, it was well worn. Not really something you look forward to later in life. Like a McDonald's Big Mac commercial vs a McDonald's Big Mac, no shade. Children are going to be pressured by their family and peers enough, I do not know that it is within the best interest to promote any.

I agree, and I think the problem is that parents just don't do enough to keep their kids innocent anymore. Explicit pop music is one thing that should have no place in the home. And technology has opened the door for rampant over-stimulation, especially the sexual kind. But it's not new. Someone on my school bus once passed around naked Polaroids of some family member when I was in elementary school, and this was in the 1980s. It was the first time I'd seen something like that and I remember feeling pretty disgusted by it. In middle school, a friend's brother had about a hundred hardcore porn magazines stashed in his couch and we found them. That scarred me for a while, too, because the depiction of sex was so brutal and gross, especially the way the women were posed.
This kind of thing has been happening for a long time. It's just infinitely worse and more common now. I feel really sad for kids who never get to be innocent. Girls, especially, are damaged by this. especially when there is no dad in the home. So yes, people, please teach your kids about the positive side of sex when it's time, but until that time, children are and should remain INNOCENT.
A conversation needs to happen. Children are far more smarter than they are given credit and can handle a lot more information than is suspected, that is a big part of the problem. They are sponges, absorbing just about everything that is going on around them and people assume they are too stupid to realize. They are humans. Introduce them to Christ and try to be better around them or at least explain the negativity to them so that they can have a better chance in their own lives without dumping on people going through their struggles.
I can only reconcile innocent with they do not know better because otherwise they can be little monsters but that is generally a reflection of their environment, so still "innocent" but is that the right word?
"more smarter" Ha!
