Default Sex vs. Violence

I haven't watched a lot of American TV, but from what I can tell, the message seems to be that violence is better than sex. A punch in the face? Sure, kids are fine with that. OMG, a NIPPLE! That's for fourteen and up.

It seems as though, even in the few years since I was a "kid", the ratings have gotten more and more strict. I grew up thinking that it was normal to change around my friends, and I definitely went skinny dipping on more than one occasion. Are the current batch of kids going to grow up under the impression that it's better to hit someone than to get naked in front of them? Do you think that TV/video ratings need to be changed at all?
