Re: CHALLENGED MYSTERY BOOKS

This question has also haunted me ever since I was in film school. Why is it
that you can get a movie rated R when they show a woman (or child or man)
being chased by a homicidal maniac who catches and kills them, complete with
blood and various other gooey bodily fluids going everywhere - BUT if they
show a man and woman (married or not) having sex where we can see body parts
the movie gets an X. Why does our society tolerate graphic violence but not
graphic sex? I'm not placing value or judgement - just questioning...
