Exactly. This is a great development. Hopefully they will be able to filter better, but it's still a great way to give people the choice.

I'll chain my kid to her bed so I can supervise her that closely.
I assume you're single and old. So no experience of bringing up a child or memory of what you got up to as a child. Here's something from a Father.
Eva and I were watching a comedy on the TV, our daughter was showering. When she came down two girls were kissing, it was a dare and part of the episode. Our 9 year old daughter blurted out "They're Gay". which surprised us as we had no idea she knew what it meant. So when she returned from school and before Eva got in, Dad had a little chat with her.
Seems she knew more than we thought. Girls or boys that kiss each other are "in love with each other". She understands the sex act. Not fully but knows what the bits are for. Knew about sleeping, what Mums and Dads do. Where did she learn all this. At school, not in a lesson, from talking to her friends and reading a book one of them has. She got the book for Xmas and has had a further chat with Dad and will come back when she needs to know more. Which is very unlikely.
Eva has already told her about puberty and periods and how her body will change. But not the person to openly discuss sex with her. We now all joke about it and when the dog starts bonking one of his stuffed toys, it's a joke and we all understand it.
You can't wrap children in cotton wool. Have you seen a Lady Gaga concert or video?
Prepare them for the world.
But let them see what some of us produce?
NO FUCKING WAY!!! If I can possibly stop it. This also gives the parents of your kids friends the same choice.
