What's damaging, in my opinion is treating a natural part of a human like the boogie monster to the point the ONLY information available *IS* porn. It's the only way i could see their arguement carrying ANY merit: And even then, one has to lack the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality and neglect on the parent's end if the person is a minor. No, a parent can't watch their young ones 24/7. But the kid will still get the message that something is wrong with what they're looking at if parents are doing their job, and the wisest of parents will still talk to their youth and explain what's unhealthy/unrealistic in a decent manner.
That's the problem with the kind of parenting that opts to leave their offspring in the dark thinking its safer: They'll head towards any light on the subject they see, even if it leads to trouble.
Now. Where's the bill that suggests a program/campaign to help educate about healthy relationships and openly discussing boundaries with partners? Or is Iceland just taking the easy way out that as Curtiss said, just a band-aid for the heart of the problem?
They're taking the easy way out, it seems.
My objection to such censorship stems from how it shows little understanding of the problem itself, much like what happens when a doctor gives medicine for a cold when what you have is actually a flu.There is no doubt that sex and sexuality will eventually be a question to any growing child and teen regardless of how parents might deny that fact (Which I find absurd as we might not even be able to post this if they had been more awkward about it). Given that children and teenagers are constantly learning and will take in any information present, would parents and educators alike prefer to be frank with the growing generation and present the facts as is which de-mystifies the intrigue of the body and makes it less tantalizing or will they dangle the birds and the bees over the child's head like the proverbial forbidden fruit and get angry when the child inadvertently finds a way to bite the fruit and be forever changed?
I don't see why is this even an issue nowadays. Parents and teenagers choose the most suitable schools for their education, degrees and career paths so why would one let so-called 'degenerate trash' or hearsay from peers that don't know any better be the teachers and primary source of a topic that will always be relevant?
