Baby even when I'm dead and gone
You will always be my only one, my only one
When the night is calling
No matter who I become
You will always be my only one, my only one, my only one
When the night is calling

But on the flip side I don't think it's perfectly harmless to let kids see porn either. Exposure to porn is a common way molesters groom children to normalize sexual behavior. The type of parents that don't care if their kids see sexual content aren't always going to be the type of parents responsible enough to explain the context of what they are seeing.

Yeah, but at the same time, the type of parent who doesn't care about such explanations is also not likely to be attentive enough to make sure they're not being groomed, and a predator obviously doesn't care. I would argue that a greater social acceptance of sex in general and fewer taboos surrounding it would probably help in this regard actually, as it could weaken the ability of a predator to actually have that effect if kids already know about and have a reasonably healthy attitude towards sex and stuff.
