Well, I was certainly not thinking about 4 and 6 year olds; in general, I don't see how would they get exposition to porn, unless they were left unattended in front of a web-connected device, and in that case porn wouldn't be my main concern (as difficult as it sounds, I'd rather explain bestiality than suicide bombings). Sorry for the misunderstanding.

I was thinking more about 8-10 year olds, to whom there's plenty of ways to introduce the concept of sex, not only through conversation but also vetted media (e.g. books, films).

I don't have kids, no, but was involved in the education of my (much) younger brother, and so in a privileged position to discuss this with him (compared to his parents), and he has grown up knowing about sex way before discovering porn.

Are you seriously implying that all sounds are created equal, especially given that some people end up behaving like children when hearing sounds related to sex?

I'm implying that a porn filter wouldn't solve the real problem. As for people behaving like children when hearing sounds related to sex, I have to say I don't know any above 20 years old.

Do you also fart in elevators? When it's hot outside, do you also come butt-naked at your office? When you get horny, do you make announcements?

No. I also try not to make silly comparisons on online discussions.
