If they want to protect their children from such content--which is, as you say, often a reasonable goal--they need to manage their kids' browsing habits.
My kids, both teenagers, have zero interest in books like the one you mentioned. If they *did* have an interest, it'd be my responsibility as a parent to know that, and explain what's problematic about such stories--not tell them "pretend that doesn't exist until you turn 18, at which point you can read anything you like." The idea that the 18th birthday bestows upon a child both a sex drive and the awareness of how to use it without hurting themselves or others, is ridiculous.

This, THANK YOU.
I do not have children. I'm sick and tired of people trying to whitewash the internet because somewhere a child is using a computer without parental supervision. Look after your own children and stop trying to impose child safety locks on the things that I use, please. Kthxbye.
