I agree with everything you said and fully think this nation, the U.S. is strange in it's views on sex. They have have sex education classes that barely teach people the parts of their own body and they hand out condoms to students in high school gym classes, some schools are installing (to much controversy) condom machines in the bathrooms, and yet they preach "just say no" to sex.
Is it any wonder these games might be loved by so many people but they are also something few would admit to purchasing under age possibilites aside for the moment? Yet too the under age to buy these games thing might be part of the whole "fetish" of handing out condoms to people that have "just say no to sex" printed on the wrapper, still not sure why they tried that but they did at a University one of my friends attended.
None of it makes any sense to me since honestly and personally I don't care when kids learn about these actions, since the sooner they learn the more likely they are to perhaps gain a sense of responibility for their actions.
In fact as far as I am concerned if they want to play them in game form to learn a little about these actions, that is fine since I would rather have a 10 year old learning it through these games then exploring it in real life on their own to find out the big 'secret' and the big need to keep it hidden, since we all know how inquisitive little children are especially about something that is obviously and openly kept hidden from them.
