50 Shades of Grey discussion
Fifty Shades of Grey is a book that I remember is for more of a mature reader, who tin can understand the underlying meaning of the book rather than just focus on the sexuality of it.My concern now is that is it ok for someone to read this book younger than 15 years of historic period? OR should it be a personal selection and anyone of any historic period should be able to read anything?
What is your opinion on Fifty Shades of Grey?
I think books should be like movies and eroticas should be rated NC-17. 
It's intended for adults. Still, if there are 14 yr olds out there that are mature and can handle it, then whether or not they should read information technology should be between them and their parents. 
i agree, this book would be amend suited to adults who empathise the underlying themes throughout, an age limit should be set as with films and games, i'm not certain about what would be a good age tho. interesting to retrieve nearly how this book fits into society and the reflection of order information technology has...looking forward to reading the 2d! 
I don't recollect I'd want my 14-xv year old reading about deep-throating. Sorry, but Anna is really descriptive in FSoG. The story is explicit and if it were made into a film based on the book dialogue alone, it would be X-Rated.I'm really open up-minded, but I have limits for my kids.
The real challenge is: How would you regulate the auction of a book if it was restricted?
Yes, I do call back there should exist an age limit to this genre. I don't see how a immature teenager could empathise Ana'due south feelings or her descriptive sesations. I know teenages are agile but do they really know what they're doing? I doubt it. Unless they are/or have been with someone more feel...which tin be a little disturbing to me.

completely concur with yous

However, if at that place are xiv yr olds out there that are mature and can handle it, then whether or non they should read it should be betwixt them and their parents." I agree with this..Society and other adults tin can propose what nosotros think is best, but I do not believe it should be legislated.
This is a decision between the reader and their guardian(southward). I as well believe that these, "guardian(s)" should be ready to discuss and provide info when questions arise from the reader, since they are allowing this material to be read. A young reader of this type of fabric should not be left to effigy it all out by themselves.
I wouldn't desire my Girl reading it until she is at least the legal age for sexual activity and have some grade of thought how complex relationships are. Information technology'south not simply almost the graphic sex scenes, it'southward the underlying emotion and hidden depths of the scenario's that take place that needs to be understood. In England the legal age is 16, and so therefore I would desire her to be at least that historic period, possibly 17/18 if I'one thousand honest...

I think it's an 18+ book myself, but I'thousand not sure if I agree with restrictions or not.
I think and then. I mean in that location are age restrictions on movies and video games. God knows I read some Stephen Rex books equally an early on teen that I probably shouldn't accept. Ashley wrote: "I think so. I mean at that place are age restrictions on movies and video games. God knows I read some Stephen King books every bit an early teen that I probably shouldn't have." I call up the restrictions testify come from the household/parents - afterwards all Parents accept a responsibility to their children
No, I exercise not call up sexually explicit books should accept an historic period limit. I am saying this equally a mother of two girls. Our society has a foreign, and in my stance unhealthy inclination to view sex as wrong, but violence as simply fine. I don't see how people can be up in arms about teens reading l shades when The Hunger Games or Lord or the Flies is required reading in schoolhouse. Honestly when my girls are xv or sixteen I would rather them be reading well-nigh one adult giving sexual pleasance to someone they care for, than reading nearly what it feels like to impale another person. Considering Hunger Games and Lord of The Flies are scenarios that our children will nigh like never experience. Since sex is 1 that they volition feel, they should be exposed to healthy, loving relationships...not deviant ones, at starting time. I don't call back my children volition cease upwardly killing anyone. I think that's why it doesn't bother me. But most people don't consider tying someone up, analytical them, shoving strange objects in the them and hitting them to be "i adult giving sexual pleasance to someone they care for". I don't call back that would be healthy for a child/immature teens psyche. Delight understand that I have nothing confronting the choice for alternative types of sexual relationships, but a child is not equipped to differentiate.
Christina wrote: "No, I practice not think sexually explicit books should have an age limit. I am maxim this as a mother of two girls. Our society has a foreign, and in my opinion unhealthy inclination to view sex as wro..." Equally a parent we are to guide our children into adulthood and we tin only hope we take washed a good job. I believe this conclusion on reading material, video games, movies etc belongs within each family unit and will need to fit within their belief organization. I am opposed to handing family unit decisions over to the government to legislate - I practise not like giving upwardly my correct to make a conclusion or change my mind
As to if a teen is capable of treatment culling sexual relationships, it depends on the teen. I read The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty series before I was 16 and was not scared by it. That serial puts this one to shame on "deviant" acts. :) I never had the desire to be trussed upwards, lead around town past a horse and spanked in public. At the time, I was turned off by the series and did not go what all the hype was nearly. Communication is key, I had open parents I could talk to comfortably about sex and what I was reading. I had a long word with my mom and she was able to explicate that it was okay for people have different sexual desires. Do I think this series should be handed out to kids, of form non. But, I remember if my teen wants to read the book EVERYONE is taking nearly, I am going to let them and encourage them to talk to me well-nigh what they are thinking while reading it.
As for kids not experiencing violence. No I don't honestly call up kids are going to be thrown in an arena or a deserted island to fight to the death. Still as much equally I wish it were true that kids killing kids was a thing of fiction, but the nightly news tells a dissimilar story.
Christina wrote: "Equally to if a teen is capable of treatment culling sexual relationships, information technology depends on the teen. I read The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty series before I was 16 and was not scared by it. That serial..." Good bespeak of view - I applaud your parents for providing you with the tools to encounter more than then simply i side to tough decisions.
Information technology as well seems like "we" spend more time worrying nigh things sexual (don't inquire don't tell; this book) then the violence we have in out cities. Aren't there other things more important that we should be worrying about?

Agreed simply in that location is cipher to stop a child from picking a book off a shelf in the library. Its non like they are kept backside the counter. But for me the same goes for violence and annihilation else not appropriate for younger people.
In that location must be age restrictions for what a child can read similar the movies. Books are to broaden the young minds and to brainwash them in a practiced way. Reading a volume written in filthy language won't assist them in anyhow. I recommend "Cuquita", by Thomas Matthew is a practiced story, very entertaining. I recommend it for everybody, young or old. 
I'm not certain how I feel almost age restrictions. Being carded for a volume seems kind of silly to me. I personally wouldn't want my daughter reading this until she was at least 16-xviii. I too recollect there'southward more to this book than simply sex, and I'd like my girl to have some kind of agreement and comprehension of the topics this book touches before she attempted to read it. So I guess, I feel like it should be up to the parents to decide. Know what your kids are reading, let them to ask questions if they need to. If y'all feel like something might be a bit also much for them, let them know. In the end, if they want to read it they'll discover abroad. Speaking from experience. :)
Does explicit include "violence" or is it just "sex"?And what is explicit exactly?
Keep in listen kids are on the internet and that actually is more explicit than whatsoever book out there.
50 Shades - I don't think should exist read past anyone nether the age of xv. But I do remember reading books similar this at the ages of 14-16. Didn't hurt me. I've never gotten into an abusive human relationship, actually I'm less that way than people I know that were sheltered, and had to chase outside the dwelling for these answers.
OTOH...I admittedly blench when I find out that my cousin is letting her six year erstwhile girl watch Glee.
That is inappropriate.
But we are weird in this society. We don't want to bear witness kids sexual activity, just violence? Non a trouble. How many kids books are fierce? Hunger Games? No sex - only very vehement. Harry Potter - no sex, but graphic violence. Etc. Most are. Twilight is an incredibly trigger-happy series. Sex is off limits, just graphic violence and torture...not a problem?
I think that at that place should exist an age limit one the sale (or borrowing, in the case of a library) of books such as these. Even if in that location is an age limit to the auction, some parents will choose to purchase it for their children, and some kids volition observe other ways to become their hands on it, only like everything else with an historic period limit (alcohol, tobacco, porn, etc.). I don't believe it will stop younger people reading it, I only think that it makes it somewhat harder to go and peradventure cause them to see it as the more than mature material that it is. I just don't recollect we should make it like shooting fish in a barrel for them to get their hands on. 
No, I don't retrieve then, because it'due south similar to video games. Many ten year olds play rated One thousand games. They'll just ignore the alarm, besides, it's sex. sex is different from violence. I would empathize why people would want to put an age limit of violence. Melinas:"They'll just ignore the warning, besides, information technology's sex. sex is dissimilar from violence. I would understand why people would want to put an age limit of violence. " Thanks. Feel exactly the same fashion.
YesI recollect books should accept an historic period rating similar movies. I wouldn't want my girl reading sexually explicit books at xv. Their already over exposed to sexual practice equally information technology is so why add together to information technology?
There's so many keen books out there and then I don't think waiting until 16 will hurt
I found out the other day that someone is letting their xiii year quondam Daughter read the 50 Shades trilogy, I wasn't the only one in the school playground to shake their head, I recollect that kind of said information technology all really... 
Christina wrote: "No, I do not call back sexually explicit books should have an age limit. I am maxim this as a mother of 2 girls. Our social club has a foreign, and in my stance unhealthy inclination to view sex as wro..." Would you really let your xvi twelvemonth sometime daughter picket a porn movie with bondage involved? I wouldn't. more often than not in the bit where he wants to pretend to rape her because he found it arousing for her to struggle...
I am not one for regulated people freedoms but I do believe in that location should be age limit for such books. In this mean solar day and historic period younger people can be greatly influenced past what they read or see, look at what the society has already done in terms of what is 'pretty'. I would be afraid of a youth/teen reading this volume and thinking that it is an acceptable form of a human relationship. I agree it is upward to the parents to make up one's mind whether they tin read the book or not but sadly most parents buy their children things and practise not spend about enough fourth dimension with them then they would be completely disconnected. It is scientifically proven that the youth and teen years are some of the almost influential years of their lives and their development as people. I would never allow my futurity children or any of the girls in my GS troop or the kids I nanny to read those books. I would respect their choices to do so if they wished, but not at GS meeting with other girls where their parents could not requite permission nor would I permit the children I nanny to read the book. (I unfortunately know the children better and then their parents) 
Deborah wrote: "Because Hunger Games and Lord of The Flies are scenarios that our children will most like never experience. Since sex is one that they will experience, they should be exposed to healthy, loving rel..." I accept to totally agree with everything you said.
Deborah wrote: "Considering Hunger Games and Lord of The Flies are scenarios that our children will most like never feel. Since sex is one that they volition experience, they should be exposed to healthy, loving rel..." I 100% agree with you lot
I'k 16 and I read this series a couple of weeks ago and was completely able to handle it. My age shouldn't touch whether I'm immune to read a book or non, I personally remember I was able to handle information technology and thats all that matters 
I agree that some people should not read it, but I do not recall laws should exist enforced on who should read this book or not. That is when it comes downwards to skilful parenting and the overall maturity of the person. Rating a book would get against everything that books represent, you are suppose to be able to learn nearly the world and in the process learn about yourself. I am against any enforcement of restricting books. Plus.. teenagers learn near sexual activity and all the other parts of a sexual life usually long before the parents suck it up to go into any explanation. But if in that location's non an age limit even a 10 year old could go into a store and buy it and the seller couldn't do a matter legally to cease it.xvi year olds may be able to handle it just why put it out there to read in the first place, has information technology enriched your life or shown yous a healthy human relationship?
I don't retrieve that its responsible to permit someone read this without having the feel of a loving human relationship (sex wise), if they are virgins they are going to think that it's normal to wip someone or smack them. Even the character Christian was annoyed to observe out to Ana was a virgin, and he never had a "vanilla"feel and he was "fifty shades of fucked up".... i completely concur!! I think this should be betwixt the parents and the corresponding reader...why do all of you parents desire to relinquish your decision making ability over to the regime? do you lot not communicate with your offspring? the liberty to choose i very important to me, i do not wish to give more of my personal power over to others (peculiarly the governing bodies out at that place)..each family/parent should assistance their child brand the correct decision in life and that includes what they are allowed to read and when they may be one-time enough to read it...come up on folks your kids know more nearly sex at younger ages then in the past.Become involved with your children in middle to heart talks, provide the tools to be good human beings, teach the value of liberty, and this includes the rights of "all" to love in the manner they come across fit.
Deborah wrote: "I don't think I'd desire my 14-fifteen year sometime reading about deep-throating. Sorry, merely Anna is really descriptive in FSoG. The story is explicit and if it were made into a pic based on the book dialog..." I concord with you. I take a 13 year old and she's pretty mature for her historic period (she's an simply child and has style older siblings), simply she shouldn't be reading well-nigh it until she's at least sixteen w/my supervision. I simply want her to understand that these situations aren't as common and desire her to come to me w/questions and not the internet or her peers who probably know less than she does.
I too agree that it should exist up to the parents and whether or not we concord, not for us to approximate I gauge.
Wendy wrote: "Deborah wrote: "I don't remember I'd want my 14-fifteen year former reading about deep-throating. Sorry, just Anna is actually descriptive in FSoG. The story is explicit and if it were made into a movie based on..." you are a wise female parent...
Paris (kerbytejas) wrote: "Christina wrote: "No, I do non think sexually explicit books should have an historic period limit. I am saying this as a mother of ii girls. Our society has a strange, and in my opinion unhealthy inclination ..." Amen, sister! Plenty of our freedoms (responsibilities) have already been taken abroad considering the government sees fit how to raise our kids.
Paris (kerbytejas) wrote: "I think this should be betwixt the parents and the corresponding reader...why do all of you lot parents want to relinquish your decision making ability over to the government?..." In my opinion, it's non nigh reliquishing my decision making ability (choices on how to parent) to the government. It'due south about me being able to make up one's mind if I desire to buy the book/check information technology out, for my child. Merely because my child couldn't BUY it, doesn't mean they couldn't read information technology. Nonetheless, if I choose to accept them NOT read it, it would ensure that they tin't become into a shop on their own and buy the book (or borrow information technology from a library) without my consent.
At present yes, I'grand not naive and I do realize that kids will get their hands on information technology if they actually truly desire to, but at least this would make information technology tougher to get. It would also alert anyone who might not know what information technology'south virtually to it's content and perhaps prevent them from ownership it for a child accidentally.
Christie wrote: "Paris (kerbytejas) wrote: "I think this should be between the parents and the respective reader...why do all of yous parents want to relinquish your conclusion making power over to the govern..." have you lot ever noticed when something is "limited" controlled - it becomes more than of a challenge to become? possibly if we merely ignored it - Kids might not be and so interested in it? Seems similar nosotros adults are making all of the fizz on this volume, and there are books that are so much worse...
I practice non think there should be an age limit. Personally I retrieve I a teen daughter or boy is interested in reading this story, they already have an knowledge of the discipline. Equally the female parent of three children, our kids are already more knowledgable than we would similar. Why not employ information technology to communicate with our children, the subject of sexual practice should not be "a hugger-mugger" 
I don't think there should be an age limit. Information technology should be up to the guardians/parents and children. Nosotros should exist able to take an open line of communication with our children. I have a friend at work whose 12 yr old wanted to read Twilight. She told her mom, and her mom read the book earlier making a decision. 
I'm very open-minded, but why non let our children stay children for a while longer? There are so many books available, why encourage teens to read sexually explicit books? They encounter too much sex as information technology is already on the net and movies - why also encourage them to read it? If "porn" is regulated by age, what else could this series be labeled equally but "porn"? Sometimes, parents don't practise their job and parent their children, and then I feel some level of responsibility on society to protect the children whose parents won't protect their best interests. I'one thousand sure I'll hear backlash for this, merely as a teacher, I see a lot of children who know way more than they should at their historic period merely because their parents practice non control the media they eat. Amy wrote: "I'm very open up-minded, but why not let our children stay children for a while longer? There are so many books bachelor, why encourage teens to read sexually explicit books? They see too much sex as..." I completely agree. I don't await my kids to alive in a chimera, but I would like their innocence to stay in-tact a little flake longer. Yes, they practise sexual practice instruction at schoolhouse just it's tasteful and sticks to adequate guidelines. The media scare us with regards to peadophilia and child safety concerns, and so a parent hands their kid a book nearly BDSM, sexual exploitation and alpha males... Merely not good parenting at all IMO. Lets kids be kids! I still had barbies in my room at thirteen, but I'm happily married with 2 kids and take a wonderful sexual relationship with my husband. Not knowing those things until much later on certainly didn't do me whatever impairment.
Yes. I'chiliad open minded, but there are certain things we should keep away from children. Erotic books being one of them. They have age restrictions on magazines, they should deffinently put them on books to! Sandra wrote: "Yes. I'm open up minded, only there are certain things we should go on away from children. Erotic books being 1 of them. They take historic period restrictions on magazines, they should deffinently put them on bo..." I completly concord with you!
Honestly, this is a hard one, putting historic period limits on annihilation present is informational, teens will be teens and many are not as innocent as some would like to believe. While a lot comes down to the parents and how they conscience what their children are exposed to, this is made even harder through modern applied science, I set tried to show a childrens site that my son enjoys to his teacher, unable to remember the site address I typed in a search for the name, elevation of the page was, yous've guessed information technology, porn, and that was through a net nanny regulator. These days, unless you are with your child 24/vii they will come across material that is not suitable, I believe the key is to ensure that as a parent, I am open and truthful when information technology comes to answering the questions resulting from their exposure.I had a very open upbringing, nothing was off limits or taboo, I can tell what is fiction and what is real and I know enough about myself to know right from incorrect (hense I haven't acted out anything I've read or seen). And so in that location is how information technology would be regulated? what is to cease a child picking up an inappropriate volume, film or game, do we take it to the extreme of someone checking what movies you lot have and just allowing yous to have things that are appropriate to the youngest family unit member in the dwelling house or perchance when you become a parent there should be a switch on Heaven that prohibits channels showing annihilation above a PG rated programme being allowed, extreme yes but today it is no different to when I was growing up, merely now violence and sex activity are everywhere, but selection up a newspaper (or perhaps we should ban those from being sold to minors too, tin't because then there would exist no more paperboys/girls).
In respond to the question, it would have to be like well-nigh things, informational since it would be almost incommunicable to police.
