Just got back from a trip to France (business, mixed with some pleasure.....no not that kind of pleasure, but my wife is "coming" next time so hopefully that trip will be business mixed with pleasure, mixed with PLEASURE!!).
Anyway, with jet lag and all I couldn't sleep one night at the hotel so I was watching TV channel surfing and there's a naked woman on TV!! So I figured, eh, this is France after all......then a man got naked! Then they started having sex!! RIGHT THERE ON CABLE!!
So I learned (through much observation :P) that they show pornos on their cable tv after midnight. And I'm not talking Cinemax-late-night-movie-simulated-sex-where-you-really-can't-see-anything.....I'm talking full on oral, anal, 3-some, cum-shot porno!
I was pretty shocked. I can't say I care for this. I would be pretty ticked if I knew one of my kids had ready access to porn if they happen to be awake late at night. I know, parental controls, etc., still I think this is way too much. I think porn belongs on DVD rentals and pay-per-view type stuff that is not as visible.
Watcha think??

I completely agree. Although as an adult I'd prefer not to have to *order* it...for the sake of my children's innocence, I can deal with the inconvenience. I'm glad that cable is more controlled in the US. And, my kids won't be traveling to France any time soon...lol.

I can remember back when they had porn movies on Playboy Channel.
I just wonder if people here in the states have a more negative connotation of sex then in Europe...
We all KNOW that the TRUE daires from ships like the Mayflower were over-flowing with orgies and other sexual events. That these people were not as "pure" as many like to believe they were.
In Europe remember, they have different view-points on sex and drinking. Children drink wine with meals and alcoholism is not such a large factor as here in the states. Also - the whole idea of "lite" beer is similarly disfunct. They enjoy the rich full taste of a beer -- just like the rich full taste of sex after mid-night.
With sexual programming on after mid-night, we do not typically hear too much about sexual deviatant issues here in the states resulting from these movies after-hrs.
I grew up in a house where there was no liquor cabinet - rather the Jack Daniels and everything else was right for to use... because it was "available" there was not a "desire" for it - the idea of trying to sneek the drink did not even come into my head...
Likewise - is it then plausible that having the porn out in the open per say - tends to reduce the sexual disfunctionality???? I can not answer this but would like to hear if anyone really knows.
Orgies on the Mayflower?????
Having a 14yo son, I would have to say "no"....I can't compare porn and liquor unless it is to equate an addiction. While I feel the occasional taste of alcohol will not taint my son(s), I do not want him exposed to pornographic action. I don't think him stumbling upon a Playboy is going to harm him, but I do think that hard core porn is better introduced once a person is already sexually active and is able to differentiate it from reality. Make sense......
Now, if you really want some heat on this issue, you should ask your question on the porn board!
I might - we have a 15 yo son - for the homecoming dance I asked him if he wanted a trojan - just to see what his reaction would be.
Also - gave him a swimsuit pin-up for xmas... should have seen how red his face got -- was SOOO FUNNY!!! :) My SO and I were just laughing at him.
I'd rather see it on TV than have to go get it. So, I'm all for it!
