George R. R. Martin on sex scenes:
“I can describe an axe entering a human skull in great explicit detail and no one will blink twice at it. I provide a similar description, just as detailed, of a penis entering a vagina, and I get letters about it and people swearing off,” he said.

My wife and I had a conversation–years before our son was born–about which we would prefer to expose a child to: sex or violence. I said sex, she said violence. Fast forward to our son being a very big 4 and she gets endlessly upset about how when I get home, all he wants to do is punch, kick, and wrestle.

+Cheese Slap I think the distinction that many make between how they treat sex and violence is absolutely ridiculous. If we all spent more time having sex, we'd have a lot less energy to expend on fighting.
