Dragon wrote on Tue, 11 December 2012 06:52 One thing I have learned through many tears is the differing levels of obedience. If a person is addicted to pornography, what difference does it make if they are watching some unacceptable PG-13 movies? That is like worrying about a small knife cut while there is a spear lodged in their chest. A member of my ward admitted once that while he was fighting the addition to porn, he saw how many PG-13 movies put the seed of desire back into his heart. Thus he was ready to stop watching them. I may watch that same PG-13 movie and truly be unaffected. But I have yet to see an R-rated movie which does not contain something I find objectionable.
I wish I could find a quote on this, but I remember someone interviewing a person who worked in "Hollywood." He admitted that Hollywood tries to shape the nation's attitudes on things by how they treat them in movies. Thus, "R" rated movies are more likely to contain extreme violence and drug themes, because these are things Hollywood deems youth should not experience. BUT - Hollywood is much more likely to put sexual themes in "PG-13" movies, because it believes sexuality, sensuality, etc. is normal and our youth should not be discouraged from exploring these things. Basically he said "R" stands for violence and drugs, "PG-13" stands for sex.
So my wife and I are much more selective about what movies we watch than we have ever been.
