Yes, I am aware that you are a 20 something. I was speaking of Mr. Swanson and some other people when that was posted. :)

Yes. In doing this project, I had to learn to be willing to hit STOP on any video that became too graphic, or whatever. Hard for me to do, because I like finding out what happens at the end!

For now, you should probably avoid:
Dr. Money and the Boy With No Penis (subject matter - medical discussions)
Missionary Positions: The XXX-Church (subject matter and content - it's addressed tastefully, but it's still harsh as these guys go up against the porn industry)
Mary Roach: The Curious Coupling of Science & Sex (subject matter - comedy)
Second Life: Online Love & Adultery (subject matter and content - CGI sex and stuff, not good)
Randall Munroe: XKCD (language)
Bill Maher: Religulous (language)
The Bible Tells Me So: Gay Christians & Their Families (stupid)
The Good Book of Love: Sex in the Bible (stupid)
The Making of an American Beauty (stupid)
The MPAA System: This Film is Not Yet Rated (content - clips from NC-17 films)
The Business of Being Born (content - childbirth)
