Not at all. I'm with Lenny Bruce -- kids aren't damaged by seeing sex.
However, a parent selfish enough to drag a kid to a film that (1) will be of
no interest to the kid, and (2) will result in the kid annoying the hell out
of everyone else in the theater, is a lousy parent who will bring up a kid
who believes, "It's okay for me to do what I want without any regard for
anyone else."
