So, because they are doing it anyway, we should just let the flood gates
open and let them have access to whatever they want to see/do, just because
"they're going to do it anyway"?  That's really sick to think about.  Maybe
the reason why they are is because of all the stuff that is out there
now?!?!?!  

Yes, kids will be curious about sex, even without seeing any type of porn.
It's natural.  But when they get curious, and have all sorts of avenues to
choose from, they don't go to the person they need to, their parents.  

But to sit back and let them have it with the argument that "they're going
to do it anyway" is a lame excuse.  Yeah, sure, let's go ahead and sell
guns to kids, they're going to get one anyway!  In fact, let's make drugs
legal, and who knows what else we could flood the market with.
