rage, I edited it for you.
OK I still have to think of a way to present the argument, but I do see why it is innappropriate for EVERYONE to be reading this site. 'Pas Nisht', and although I may not have the words to express it, there is a sound and solid basis to judging with one's hergeishim...if he is enough in-tune with his neshama.
I am starting to get the feeling that our understanding of this pressing issue, is blinding our sensitivities to tznius and harchakos me'arayos. Does anyone remember kedusha's thread, bashing a book that advises to tell your abr mitzva bachur, in full detail "how" babies 'come from'. The issue of sheltering [our] children from the world today, with all the n--ty and advertisements that they WILL see, depends on much they truly have been sheltered.
If you kids watch TV, they will learn how to have chidlren of their own, even before bodies are capable of creating zera!! In such a case..the birds and bees are way too vague, you will need to tell him that _a_ _b_ and _c_ is ASSUR to do, even though everyone his age on TV is doing it (obviosly use sechel in doing so). But for whatever children have been thankfully sheltered from the blatant anuz of the outside world, they need to be guided in a manner that provides both an 'informed' standpoint and an understanding of how to deal with their newfound tayvos, while maintaining the delicate balance of tznius and not leading them to hirhurim. Again, one must be honest with himself about the exposure they will get from their freinds at school. Even if you have no TV, mybe they will watch TV/movies at a freinds house. What about the ads on the city-bus? How sheltered will they truly be?
For children who are assured to never be exposed to a single zonah, ad, newsstand, shikdah, cleaninglady, cashier, city-bus, subway, plane, tv screen, ipod, blackberry, laptop, magazine, or anything else of the modern world. They will B"H be easily accepted to the top chedarim of meah Shearim, without any fear of ever discovering technology ("hafla vaphelah, movable type!!" "tatty what is internet? yankeleh it's the gematria of Sartan") But even so, they will learn the details of female anatomy (dam besulim), the derech of tashmish kihilchaso, the concept of zev-keri-dam, naArah hamiorasa, shlosha nashim meshamshim bi**** (hamaivin yavin), Ha'arah koneh biyevama, and many more such 'touchy' sugyos. SO even they will need to be guided in a torahdik approach to dealing with their tayvas nashim.
AS I have told my campers on countless ocassions (13-14 rys old), "If you aren't attracted to girls, you need to see a doctor, there is something very wrong with you. That's supposed to happen in every boy your age, and if it hasn't then you must see a Urologist! What to do about it, is another story."
How on earth can a person feel that every single jew, regarless of their exposure, needs GYE? Yes we definitely can help them at their level, however we need to do it with 'abisle' seichel. We are poinereing a new movement in klal wisrael, and GUARD is noteil schar kulam (kedush too for collecting haskamos). However we must exhibit restraint in our desire to help fellow yidden. Hopefully most people who watch p--- are not yet qualified to be deemed addicts, and we can save them by merely installing a filter=monitoring software. We need an approach for every level of this Yetzer Hara, and machala. And in-order to provide the propper 'dosage', it may require additional sites and precautionary measures.
BTW try googleing GYE every time you want to open the site. I have been doing it for a while, and GYE now come-up as one of the first 5 choices to the various search terms I try. This way the true addicts will be able to find us... bederech Kataigor NaAseh Saneigor.
