"Fake? Really, Mom? How can you tell?" Print hardcore story E-mail story Backflip this story to hardcore find it again The generation gap widened. In his age of Jenny McCarthy/Pamela Anderson/perfect MTV babes, puffed-up beach balls on women's chests look normal to him. I mumbled a few words, trying to describe the difference. Fortunately he did not ask me to sort out the naturals from the pretenders, and to my relief he took the magazine to the privacy of his bedroom. As a writer of erotica and a hardcore woman who grew up in sexual ignorance, I don't believe in censorship for children. But I also don't believe in tossing smut at them before they're ready, either in print or on the Web. So I have no problem with Playboy being kept out of view in convenience stores, or with erotic Web sites having adult-warning pages. Kid-filtering software is a little iffier to me; it seems like a good idea, but too many parents I know who have this in place are the more clueless ones who need better communication and more time with their kids -- kids who then have to hang out at other people's houses to learn things.
