"Why do people feel the need to compare the books and the show? Thats like trying to compare the Resident Evil games to the movies. There are going to be major differences because some things just work better in a book than onscreen. I like the fact that they are different so that you have the opportunity to like them both for what they are."

"The show is hypersexualised like any other TV show nowadays, I'm not saying it's bad of course, but the book didn't contain many of the sexual scenes they stuffed in the series, and they made dexter a bit sexual although he doesn't see any joy in these degrading , human acts as the book showed."

"^^I still think the show is hypersexualised because that's want people want to see, and that's not true to the real dexter.
but i mean you're right, not only kids get the Wrong Message but also full grown up men, and women, sex on TV makes some people want to sleep with their pets and molest their kids.
Do you think Obama will fix all that mess? mmm..."

"Alright, let me preface this by saying I hate the sex in the show. Its ridiculous, it seems forced, and I just don't like it at all. Its not true to Dexter at all.

That being said, the show is about a man who KILLS PEOPLE FOR FUN. I'm not worried about kids getting the wrong idea about sex on a show like this. In fact, this show isn't intended for children anyway. Perhaps parent's should do more parenting and worry about what their kids watch on tv instead of letting the government do it.

And I think sex on tv does give people the wrong idea of what its like (believe me, sex isn't half as fun or exciting as it looks on tv), but I don't think it makes people want to molest their kids or pets. I've seen a lot of sex on tv, and have never wanted to do either of those things. People who do are just inclined to do that crap anyway, and don't need a tv to tell them what to do.

So as you can see, I'm really anti-censorship, and feel people need to control what their kids do. However, like I said I wish there wasn't any crazy sex in the show (season one had two sex scenes, thats fine. Season two had multiple ones. Not fine). I just don't want it there because I feel it makes the show seem more cheesy and Hollywood than it should (and since I pay for a Showtime subscription, I think this is a demand I can make), and not because it gives the youth of America the wrong idea about sex.
