I think sex is more awkward because it is something we all do yet rarely talk about . It ' s part of our intimacy . If there was a TV show with sex scenes on TV and my parents were around , I ' d still feel awkward even though I know they have sex only reason I ' m here and they know I do too . Violence thankfully isn ' t part of my life and I feel nothing when seeing violent scenes on TV , it ' s hardly violence if they ' re actors playing a role , you know these actions have no consequence and these characters aren ' t real so it ' s not frightening . Same in video games , if no one is harmed and no one is in danger , it ' s pretendviolence , there ' s no consequence and nothing to feel bad about . Reallife violence shown on television like a terrorist attack , footage of a war zone or dead bodies ? Totally different , I can ' t stomach it because these are real people commit atrocities against real people and the stakes are as high as it can get
