But the stuff available now is beyond that and is definitely not for kids - if a guy making pron is prepared to speak out to make that statement, then that can only be a good thing.
The thing is, this attitude that "it's not for kids" is often a sign of embarassment on the part of *adults*.

If it's *really* "not for kids" (in the literal, rather than figurative sense) then kids simply won't be *interested* in it, just as I found some adult (as in "grown up" ie not sexually explicit) books in the book case that I didn't have any interest in reading.

What "not for kids" has come to mean, however, is that "this is stuff that parents would be embarassed to try to explain to their children", but that's a failing on the part of the parents IMO.
