I have a friend who does a similar thing. He has two kids, 10 and 12, and he won't bat an eye about letting them watch a movie where people are blow up, shot, stabbed or killed in various ways, but if there is nudity in a movie he doesn't want them exposed to it.

When I ask him about it he says that he thinks his kids understand that the violence is just pretend and it won't "corrupt" them, but somehow nudity will.
