I have a hard time believing that nobody has at least peeked into 18+ material before they were 18. Granted, you don't READ it, but still.

I am honestly curious. What are these needs you speak of? Is it what I'm thinking?
Oh yeah, ignore my username.

I am like you too. I don't like graphically explicit material. The closest to real nudity I ever read was love scenes, but they are portrayed as very romantic instead of just plain gratifying explicit.

Oh, were we supposed to listen to those? 'o.o Anyway! I think warnings are forever needed because, even though they won't quite stop curious people, they will stop people who do not like mature/yaoi/yuri/etc from wasting their time and reading something "oh, this warning says its yaoi. next manga.."

Jep. And heck, just by being 18 years old, you are an adult? You are mature? From one day to another? What a joke ^^
18+ is just a guideline for me. Nothing more, nothing less.
Of course that's only for mental matters, not for things concerning your body: You should wait with consuming alcohol and such stuff until your body can withstand it. That's my opinion at least. ^^ Think of it as you like, I freakin' don't care.

>People listen to these warnings? Hell, I was surfing porn at age 10.
And you hit the nail on the head. That problem of porn being available means it will be illegally accessed by minors. The republicans in past three republican presidential campaigns have accused the democrats of being too tolerant on pornography and other illegal activities in the media such as guro, beastiality, and child porn which is essentially true. The democrats left it to the parents to take care of the children, but that didn't seem to be enough, so the conservatives will eventually pass more stringent laws to protect the children from porn that depicts illegal activities such as minors having sex, guro, beastiality, and scat. The first attempts during the part of Bush Jr's first term when the republicans had control of House, Senate, and Presidency let them ram through version after version that was struck down by the Supreme Court until a much watered down version was allowed to become the Protect Act.. That successful version would have been the baseline for more attempts to raise the bar, but the republicans lost control of the house and senate due to the bad economy and various fake shortages during the first term (fake electricity crisis, fake food distribution crisis, fake shortage on cereals, etc). **note: "cereals" refers to the material commodity and not breakfast cereal which is but one of the smaller uses of the cereal commodity.
The republican-created ACTA treaty has been signed by Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, the USA, and others. More will sign later. That means new laws can be written to better support ACTA's provisions as additional analysis of situations warrant. Also, prior court decisions such as fair use precedents can now be re-tried if they are used by the defense in an ACTA case. ACTA criminalizes copyright infringment on the internet including downloading OR possession of the copy,
That means that that virtually all of the hentai manga and doujin porn sites will disappear as they are reported by anti-porn activists or your ex (friend, spouse, significant other) to law enforcement. Known users might also be investigated. That's because virtually all the scanlations are copyright violations. There is no need to prove it is a violation because ACTA makes it a criminal situation if you do not have express written and signed permission in advance. It's not that big a deal as it's similar to driving a car without proof of insurance or a drivers license. You left your wallet at home and so you dont have the proof on you. The officer cites you for the criminal violations and you pay the fines. It'll be about a year and a half yet because the presidency 2012 has to be settled.
