as far as sex/nudity goes ... nudity is fine, people kissing and hugging under the covers is fine too (he thinks thats what sex is) but i'm not about to explain - and he's not at the level of maturity to constructively understand - hard core grinding or oral sex (simulated or not)
it's all about knowing your kid.
I also worry about that what he might seem to find 'ok' now may backlash in his subconcious later on.
He bacame afraid of the dark out of the blue a few months ago - no problem before that. who knows what's becoming lodged in his brain that may pop up later. it's not an experiment i want to push ... i have to think about him first and foremost.
anyway - there's a lot of great movies for us to watch that we both enjoy - we watch a movie almost every single night.

Just constantly remind him that it's all actors and the idea is they simulate the scary things so they don't have to be experienced for real!
