Sex & Violence in the U.S.

it's interesting that, in the US, we're much more permissive about violence than we are about sex (e.g. in our television and in our video games etc.) - as if sex was a more dangerous idea to give to our children.

On television we can see people getting stabbed or shot multiple times in prime time - but one bare female breast at the Superbowl halftime show is considered an outrage

aren't we ultimately just displacing sexual urges in our adolesents with violent urges?
