Graphic violence generally is considered adult content. Let’s not pretend slapstick comedy is the same as graphic violence. Furthermore, you/kids definitely see cartoons where one character is enamored with another (heart eyes jumping out of sockets) and pursues that character for the entirety of the episode.

"Graphic violence" meant "violence in images" in my lifetime. Because so many people "learn" words by guessing their meaning from context, it now means what Anthony Burgess called "ultraviolence" in A Clockwork Orange. Cartoons have already had several re-thinking of what's appropriate as norms have changed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censored_Eleven

I doubt that

Most women are not interested in penis size. (Though some are, obviously.) At a normal nude beach, with all age groups represented, people don't show off an erect penis. (Though there are beaches where that happens.) Median erect penis length is about 13-14 cm and I don't think there's credible evidence for the median varying much between countries of Europe and North America. (Though there is some evidence for a sma…

It does to some extent. At least your data is similar to what I've read.

I think the problem is that even if I was one standard deviation above the mean, that's still only about the 68% percentile. So it's expected that 3 of every 10 dudes would be better endowded than me, and I'm sure nude beaches bias in sample towards the more well endowed. So likely I won't be laughed at but won't be a genetic prize, and I'm not sure I'm confident enough (or ever will be) to accept that as public knowledge.
