It boils down to this: the freedom to learn how to be sexual requires the freedom from sexualization. As I wrote long ago in a post about adults, desire and duty are enemies. This means, of course, that we do need to push back against the media forces that foist "raunch culture" on the very young. But we don't push back through censorship. We push back by giving young people the tools to navigate their way through the bewildering blitzkrieg of messages which they receive about sexuality.

The Problem With Being "Sexy But Not Sexual"

"Home can be very unforgiving."

— The former mayor of New York, in Shortbus (~0:30)

A movie that goes directly to my heart.
