Which type of explicit content is least bad?

[Anonymous]

My STBXH and I are at odds over parenting our shared 3 children. He's upset I have a lot of books in the family room with nudity and sexual themes. Our oldest is in middle school and the younger two in elementary. STBXH hunts and eats his kill. To his credit, he doesn't keep the guns anywhere accessible.

I told him sexually explicit media is far more preferable than the violence of hunting. It's sociopathic his obsession with hunting and eating animals. In Europe kids are exposed to nudity all the time and it's fine. A random sex scene on HBO isn't anywhere near as damaging as daddy sh**ting and eating a goose.

Which explicit is more mentally damaging for kids?

Why give him reasons to object to your home? While I agree with you that theoretically sex and nudity are less offensive - I think you’re choosing to hang on to things to prove a point rather than accepting a reasonable critique and making your living space more neutral. If your goal is to win the argument, have at it. If your goal is to provide a home where your kids can feel comfortable and at ease - move the nude art elsewhere for a few years.

Also, while it’s not to my taste, hunting is not morally objectionable and it doesn’t sound like he’s mounting his kills in the primary living areas. False equivalency.

Whatever gave you the idea that this is true? This is complete horseshit. And also, you said your materials contain "sexual themes."

Is daddy killing animals in front of the children? Really?

Why can’t you control yourself, OP?

What do the kids say about you Mr respective interests. Are they bothered by either one?

Because his creepy family is a culty religious one who will make my kids ashamed of human bodies and sex. Normalizing it is important before they develop shame. How is a statue of David culture but a book on female sexuality "porn"?

If he is taking the children hunting in a legal, ethical, and sustainable manner, even that's not objectionable. I mean, I would mentally object to it because hunting skeeves, me out but humans are omnivores and getting food is...well...life. Many kids across the world kill animals to eat. But being exposed to sexually explicit material too young can definitely have negative emotional consequences.

You're a really bad troll, OP.

Troll score: Negative 5. Demerits for being too obvious, clunkiness, hackneyed subject matter and clumsy juxtaposition.

The kids know that guns are extremely dangerous and they're scared because kids are getting shot in school. My STBXH isn't impoverished with no other choice but to hunt and eat his kill. In 2024, where going to school requires bullet proof backpacks, it's not right for him to have this "hobby." It's extremely violent.

Team DH. What kind of books do you have and why can't they be stored elsewhere?

I have no issues with nudity in artwork, but kids shouldn't see other activities until much older.

Do you have any first hand knowledge of what kids in Europe are exposed to? Because you are correlating nudity with sex, and that's both very American and very incorrect from the "European" perspective. There is much more nudity in SOME of Europe, yes, but nowhere in Europe is it a social norm to expose children to explicit sexually themed content. Fix your faulty premise and put away the inappropriate sexual content before your ex takes you to court for grooming.
