Do you really want to be the person playing devils advocate with showing porn to children?

Can you give an example of sexually suggestive writing that you would classify as "porn"? "Explicit" is quite different to "suggestive".

Hmm, seems "porn" really does mean something different in the US...https://news.artnet.com/art-world/florida-western-civ-fired-...

> Just because a parent THINKS "being gay" is sexually suggestive doesn't mean that it IS. But categorically, actually being gay is . By any dictionary, the word “gay”classifies a very specific sexual preference. Sexual preferences are fundamentally sexual in nature, and parents absolutely have the prerogative to gatekeep the kinds of content their children are exposed to, especially sexual content. I realize you mig…

Is a book containing a husband and wife sexually suggestive, as it shows a heterosexual couple? Is a book containing a nuclear family even more sexually suggestive, since it implies the husband and wife must have had sexual intercourse to produce the child?
