I have two kids under the age of 4, they are suggestible and observant. If they see me get a book that has sexual content on the cover, this is reported to the Mother authority. If I choose to deal with porn, I have to make separate trip and develop a certain clientele that would be both discreet and deep pocketed. Fantasies, I know but one can hope.
My daughter left to her own devises would pick the crappiest book covers imaginable. In fact, she already has and when I catch the offending book before the clerk can ring it up, my daughter would blurt "but, Daddy, It's beautiful! It's purple" (which might be true but doesn't lead to the first point at all) PLUS she picks romance novels. She should be crawling through the kids section instead of picking purple covered romance novels! I can't even blame it on my wife because she doesn't read romance novels and it too consumed with her work-related readings to contemplate "trashy pulps" as she has called them in the past. Our daughter, on the other hand, goes straight for the worst looking cover and offers it to me as "my one". I have to decline saying, "no, go find a real kid's book".
