'DVDA and Belgian Biscuits' eh. You just made those up didn't you?
On the off chance you didn't then please don't explain as I suspect I don't want to know.
I am talking about 12 year olds, or even younger, watching violent, extreme and often (apparently) coercive sexual acts.
It is fairly common at the moment.
I am not OK with that.
Fair enough I did get dragged into a different argument over the course of the thread. I don't think viewing all of those acts should be illegal.

It often happens out of the home - so may have nothing to do with parents
What kind of society would be if we think that young children viewing hard core, often violent, pornography is not our collective business?
