Okay, in your note you make the assumption that people suddenly gain wisdom upon reaching age of consent. You know better. :-)
Yeah, kids get exposed to sex WAY early now. A couple of years ago, Cam gets to telling me about how his friends showed him (at the friend's house) that if he just typed "girl porn" into Google, he'd get back these really interesting images. I just nodded and said something like "Well, that's not really something you and your friends should be doing," and didn't make a big deal of it, suddenly sweating bullets about when I'm going to discuss this with his parents. I let Rob and Kimiko know at a good time, and they dealt with it. But he was about five or six then.
So, yeah, they will get exposed, sooner than any of us would like.
On the other hand, most reasonable parents don't buy that shit for their kids. Sadly, there are a lot of unreasonable parents out there. :-\
