Gad!!! I hadn't thought of that....Whew....I just read the Terms of Use
Agreement, and I think I'm on safe ground even if it's a bit risque. I'll go
ahead and let it drop for the sake of the kiddies who are made uncomfortable.

But I want it stated that I see nothing wrong with kids reading this stuff.
When my son is old enough to be interested in such subjects, he is welcome to
the knowledge.

Well, too young, and they won't get it. Older than that, and I can't imagine
how in today's US society, you could avoid the topic.

Kids are strong and smart. It won't harm them.
I would say that the fact that a clinical discussion of the topic makes people
uncomfortable suggests that kids might ought to be exposed to it more. (But as
they say, that is another debate.)
