| Probably because pussy and dick is not good for a child's eyes. |

| Lol. Because they don't want you to figure out waifus are better than the real thing before you have been scammed a few times, like they have before they settled on each other to raise you. I have killed million, possibly billions according to some macro strategy games and I still never want to randomly murder people in real life. |

| I think it has more or less to do with our society normalizing violence more than sex. I mean, we're totally fine with guns and blood on tv, but boobs and penises? HIDE THE KIDS!!!! I'd totally recommend watching the film "This Film Is Not Yet Rated". The film is from 2006, but it's still pretty relevant and it goes into this topic mentioned in the article |

| I always think violence more worrying than sex or sexual taboo I feel more comfortable watching incest anime than action anime |
| Showing reproductive organs that everyone over 10 knows what they're used for engage in coitus? Absolutely disgusting. Showing evil intentions that shouldn't be normalized? It's all good. The best thing is that sex scenes in film are like as vanilla as it gets. To make it even better, they don't even show genitals. The US is a weird fucking place. |

The fetishes they show in porn/hentai are incredibly morally questionable, but instead of censoring them, they're censoring the genitals. |

| Both are harmful for adolescents to see. Violence doesn't seem to really to much to an adolescent's brain though. When I was around 6 or 7 I had to watch a horror movie with zombies literally tearing a guy in half over a table among other things. I have turned out starkly opposed to violence, though, whereas if I had not witnessed certain sexual content when I was younger I believe it would have been to a benefit for my conscience. |

US study You have your answer right there. The U.S. is still under Puritan influence. This isn't an issue in countries like France. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| I'm more worried about people worrying sex over violence |
| sex makes life and violence takes it away. pretty clear to me which is worse |
| violence only harms the body but pussies and cocks hold ultimate power |
 |
| No idea, insanely violent content is completely fine for most people, but as soon as you show a titty everyone states freaking out. |
 "The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." -Friedrich Nietzsche |
| I don't know for parents but in reality it's the other way around. Nowadays showing a drop of blood has higher chances of exceeding the PG-13 than a softcore sex scene which I find rather absurd considering that a kid will see and experience a lot of the former before even getting close to the latter. They have the right to be worried but on the other hand it also proves that they don't know their kids since with that many forms of "entertainment" recently, sex scenes in PG-13 movies is probably one of the things they should care the least. We don't really need more censorship when it comes to this specifically. We just need those ratings to be applied more strictly and the parents to control what movies their kid is watching instead of complaining about sex, nudity or violence. I see so many movies or potentially great shows being destroyed by the PG-13 rating, it's just sad. You usually have to choose between less profit and a good show/movie or a terrible show/movie but with a PG-13 rating. |

| Because The Violence shown is Fictional. And Sex scenes are clearly not fictional and Animated waifus are 100% real. Not like the Blood and graphic entrails that are shown on gore and even not gore violent media, these are totally fictional and thus don't harm anyone. |

| It's evolutionary... As a society for thousands of years people had to go and fight to save their homelands, family, and way of life. So deep down we have this natural urge to watch violence to teach us how to survive. Where as with SEX, well sex does seem to come with the down fall of society. The Romans got freaky then collapsed so did the Greeks etc. The other problem is having children is a huge responsibility. only 100 years ago it was common to see homeless children trying to survive, heck go to Africa now and you will see that. So the idea of sex through the stability of marriage in also ingrained in us from our ancestors. So it's a natural defense mechanism to avoid promoting it. |
| Nor sex or violence worry me, in fact I don't mind them. Expect when it is too overused like Elfen Lied. |
| It's not really about which one is worse, but which one has the worse effect on children. Ideally, you wouldn't want either though. But a children exposed too early to graphical sex may easily develop trauma towards sex and have it impede his life later on. Meanwhile, peoples getting early exposed to graphical violence in movies don't become violent or murderer just because of it. At least that's the general feeling that peoples will get out of this, and therefore why, even without being able to really explain why when asked, parents are more worried about children being exposed to graphical sex than graphical violence in movies and video games. This doesn't mean that peoples think that murder is more okay than rape. It's not about which one is worse, but more about which one has the higher chance of impacting children's future when shown too early. |

| Because children are too pure for this world. No but really, violence isn't as easy to hide, I guess? People fight all the time on a daily basis. |
  Crying doesn't mean you're weak. Enduring doesn't mean you're strong. |
| Most of the time, violence is more of concern, things like wars, criminality or even corruption are highly debated themes. Sex is more of a taboo, that's why it's still hidden, but it sometimes is part of discussions at high levels. @maluhia Like the quotes in your sig :x |

GrandSky001 said: Dumb Christian values. They think sex ed is bad but massacring of Jews and Muslims is good. Perhaps in the middle ages. Not today though. That's why we have Trump in the US today. Americans, which the majority are Christians (or have Christian values), want to keep the Islamist extremists or any other radicals out by deporting and stronger background checks. And no, most contemporary Christians would say sex is much less worrying than violence and death. Me being one. |
| Can we have a 'neither' option OP? Cause I'm not worried about either in films. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Because violence and sex are two very different things (and affect viewer differently). Violence 1) People that commit violence (that isn't justified in some way at least) in a movie are black or gray characters (villains) and are judged. They certainly don't represent a role model for kids. 2) Kids watching violence will not get the idea that it's good or okay. They won't desire to imitate shown behavior. (Let's assume they are at least that mature (or sth)) 3) Kids are taught that violence is bad, solves nothing... Doing violence is not encouraged by society. Violence is taboo. (In my opinion: even without society, people, as individuals, know that violence is generally wrong.) 4) There is a victim in violence. 5) Violence has a big spectrum. There is violence even in cartoons for kids. It's not graphic, it's more innocent, it's played for comedic purpose, there is no suffering... (I speak only about one type of violence). It's not always dark, deep, complex, mature etc. It doesn't always send strong (psychic) messages. (Different types of violence affect viewer differently.) (I don't say whether is having violence in kids' shows okay or not.) Sex 1) Sex is not marked as bad (immoral) in movies most of the time. Cheating is a good example of exceptions. Main characters (as role models) are often seen participating in sexual acts as well. Having sex in a movie makes it mainstream from something private, mature (not something for children's eyes)... 1b) It's easier to be influenced by messages of sex than by messages of violence. 2) Movies normalize sex. Kids will think it's normal to have sex, that it's everyday thing for teens and adults not connected to morality (or depth of connection of partners, if you want). 3) Society looks at sex as a normal thing. Not only that, but (naturally in that society) having sex is encouraged. Whom kids listen to? Their parents, media (movies), society (people they know; media influences society). Parents teach their kids what they think is best for them, but kids will eventually say no to them. Kids don't think critically and are easily controlled (brainwashed). What values will kid have? 4) Nobody is hurt in sex. It's all fun and games. So, what is bad about it? Besides sex and violence, movies have a whole package of messages and ideas and a lot of them can act on a viewer without his full notice. So, there is more to be aware of than just sex and violence. |

| Violence usually go hand in hand, like you can get revenge or something but nothing you can do about defloration. |
