Before I continue. I must state that I have never played the game nor do I intend to. The following comments are coming from a mother of an eleven year old boy. My comments are NOT towards the game as, these comments are just to show you the other side.

No, you cannot hide your kids from sex, drugs, violence, etc. However, you as a parent can do as much as possible to protect them as long as possible. Yes, eventually they will be exposed to it. My son loves sharks and movies about sharks. I rented Deep Blue (think that was the name of it) and put the movie in, plopped down on the couch with my son and some popcorn, 5 minutes later, my 11 year old son got an eyeful of breasts. Ummmm.... well crap, was my first thought. I looked over at him and he was covering his eyes but peeking out of his fingers. It embarrassed him. I would never intentionally buy my son something that I KNOW has sex scenes in it; however, the fact remains, he is going to see it somewhere, somehow. I know this, and I do not pretend like it will not happen. However, I can do my part by not buying the game. It is my decsion, my child, and should be left up to me. My feelings is put a rating on the game and leave it up to the parents.

Guess what also. Its just a game. None of it is real. And to make something that happens naturally seem to wrong is pretty stupid.

Hmmm.... real or not, is it necessary to the playing of the game or just put in the game because sex sells, plain and simple?
