What about children reading books instead, so you'll have them clever and awaken enough later to decode the world through what is written here and there.
It's interesting. I got more sex and violence from the books I read as a kid than I got from videogames or TV combined. And no one cared.
I had an 'Aliens' novel that had the most explicit sex scenes, and I used to sit in class reading that. I read James Bond and Remo Williams books with sex, and heads exploding, and torture, while I was in the 6th grade. Piers Anthony's books are borderline rape-fetish and underage girl-fetishist, but my grandma used to take me to the library to get them.

Sounds good to me, and very interesting. I don't have problems with children reading aldut books :) But you 'll recognize you cultivate yourself creating those images in your mind from reading much more than when you sustain them from a movie or so. And what's as interesting is that it is your sensitivity that works then.
Images imposed by TV or VG have a big potential on the subconscient, why they have all interest in being the vehicule of something more noble than free violence and stupidity, mostly for children that are not able to choose or make a difference because of the huge standardization of stupidity we currently witness.
When you were reading your "adult" books, I'm sure you made the difference. Simply because it didn't looked like the Mickey Mouse magazines your friends used to read. ;)
Most children are to go so stupid in the future that they are yet a perfect target for a new world (dis)order.
