Explain Europe then
Very simple.
When you are old enough to remember the American society that was produced by people self imposing responsibility for their own actions and self restraint (oh no - that politically incorrect word "morality"), then you can remember an America where the society was a lot less riddled with crime in all areas.
I agree the violence also has contributed. The baser emotions of anger and lust work together to produce a society which comparatively has come to a comparatively sorry state.
Although Americans did not look down on other cultures, the other cultures, for the most part, were comparatively more riddled with crime, (not trying to wax political here - just stating facts), abortion, etc. As a simple example, I remember my first trip to Europe, one of the things we were told was to make sure you did not put your wallet in your back pocket b/c it would not last long there. I had never heard this in the US (or Canada) when growing up. In other words, comparatively speaking with the rest of the world, Americans was seen as decent, honest, the most charitable people ever, and our society was deemed desireable. Back then people would say America did not have loose standards and so was able to have such a society.
Mayberry RFD was not just a show. And despite what modern media will tell you... Mayberry RFD was a typical US town... not a pipe dream. I lived it as did my parents an my grandparents (and not all in the same geographic location).
Our societies percentage of lust related crimes has proportionality skyrocketed since more "loose" standards have become normal. Unwanted children are disposed before they are born (not being political - just stating a fact related to a more "open" culture in this area).
Nowadays you cannot be on the TV for 5 minutes without some sexual innuendo being thrown in your face. Our society is obsessed with the subject. The societal structure of (comparatively from 50-60 years ago) of broken families, divorces, abortions, etc. is a direct result. Solid marriages and homes are now rare like divorce etc. was before we decided to change to this more "accepting" standard.
If John Doe really thinks a high school boy can see something they should not, and that somehow for a politically correct reason the brain inside that boy will not allow the raging hormones to surface and influence his thoughts ans sometimes actions, then John Doe might be interested in a bridge in Brooklyn. My life was spent with high school kids. Some of the discussions they have concerning adults are very interesting. The kids know what they think when they see these things. And since high schoolers have a wonderful way of being brutally honest, they don't beat around the bush over it.
As said, the reality of allowing this subject to be seen as something to be proudly displayed, despite PC desires, has brought about a society where our traditional family units have been sacrificed on the altar of hedonism. Our kids, as always, are the victims.
Yes, there may be some people who only can see the artistic form of such things. But, as can be proven also by the internet, the majority of people do not ascribe this subject matter to art. f we want to help our kids be the best they can, we will hold to the time proven standards which made America great. I am not saying the standards are just American, I am saying the standards we adopted led to what America once was before it became the hedonistic society we live in.
Hope all this flows - oncoming migraine...
