Because in the modern culture sex is more of a personal thing you don't want to share. Violence is something you can and usually do.

Why do we censor activities which could result in new life more strictly than activities which could result in death

It would be nice seeing actual evidence backing this mass of "What the fuck am I reading." A quote isn't the same as an actual study. Just cause someone said something, doesn't mean the thing they said was smart. Not to mention how does having a lot of sex correlate to sacrifice? People still have orgies today yet there's a historic low of infant sacrifice.

Not to mention teens, especially in highschool, will find out about what sex is one way or the other. And they will partake in it, no matter what anyone tells them through religious or moral views. So what matters is them finding out about it through proper education, cause they'll find out about it anyway. Hell, they have to find out about it if they want that nuclear family the dude you're quoting is mumbling about while under the influence under all of the drugs. So whats important is they have the proper education to not royally fuck up their lives by getting an STD or getting pregnant at sixteen.

Report of several studies about the benefits of sexual education: https://www.plannedparenthood.org/a...for-sex-education-and-effective-birth-control

Its important for teenagers to find out about what sex is, but when we put up all the taboo walls through the guise of morality and religion, while still showing them someone being decapitated, all we do is harm the next generation.

Without violence the human race would still be a thing. In fact it would pretty much be a dream Utopia. Without sex, there would be no human race. Not saying excessive sex isn't bad for you, but so is getting your head chopped off. Cause you'd be dead.

Every debate we have boils down to this tbh.

Blame hollywood. No, seriously. Most "common sense" gets spread via media now and social media are too bubble-centric to advocate any kind of change, so movies get to be the paragons of "common sense/current year virtue".

This resulted in a shift from movie to signaling the political ideology of whoever makes the movies. And since murrica doesn't have much to be globally proud of outside of military, violence was used as a medium.

Because most people have sex, but very very few have done real violence. So these two things are not comparable. Also, most people are really insecure about their sexuality and sexual prowess, so it's always going to be a sore topic for many people.

Because it would be easier to get away with sex, hence the need to hide and censor it, then it would be to get away with violence.

If someone does something violent, it will be pretty hard to hide it. If they have sex in secret it will be much easier to hide it. Since it is easier to hide sex, it will be more censored to make up for how easy it is to hide. The opposite is true for violence, as you can't really hide it well and thus their is less reason to censor it. (Aka hide it from you.)

Honestly, I think if you really write well, that you don't need to spell out either sex or violence in a scene. (Although I do admit, I have a violent scene in my book.) What a book/movie truly needs is the aftermath, especially the emotional aftermath of the act. It is our ability to feel what the participant feels rather than the actual words on the page that make a scene so riveting. I'd like to see a challenge where authors on scribblehub each write a compelling 2000 word sex scene without describing the actual act. No breasts, no you know...just emotion.

Although this is mostly a cultural issue, there are probably 3 reasons.
1. Purity culture is a pretty strong theme in the Abrahamic religions. Which are very influential.
2. Going along with 1, that purity culture is also fairly common elsewhere. Although, typically, less extreme in patriarchal societies. Even when women were scene as the property of their husband, since that was also a common position in 1’s history.
3. People, typically, experience way more violence than sex. From glorification of war and conquest, to your job slashing benefits and pay despite making record profits, to being forced to live from paycheck to paycheck, to your landlord raising rent for no reason, to the state arresting the poor & homeless who couldn’t keep up, to a prison system that prefers violence to reform, to a farmer who is forced to rent both their farmland and farm equipment while not being able to use the seeds of their harvest, etc. Hell, violence is often, regrettably, sexual, while violence is not typically sex.

Sex can be used as a voilent mean but the difference is, let's take it as someone is killed and another person is raped, then suffered more? The victim of rape ofc. But if the person 'A' is not killed but tortured then? Weird that.
Now sex is a taboo because it's animalistic, essentially sex can be misused. Meaning mainly women are the victims of rape. Sure there are some gay retarded rapist. Can we please put them to labour camps? Lol.
Rape happens because of losers. Some mofos acts as if porn isn't responsible. Shut it child.
Now, since the question is bout why violence is more acceptable than sex, it comes down to religion. BArely any religion promotes sex, even it is considered a huge sin for illicit sex. I compltely agree.
And in case of violence, let's just say conquering for religion is iffyly fine. Although my religion doesn't let you take the initiative.
