I swear I won't make any jokes about bananas

The other day Jackson and I were watching the Discovery Channel series "Walking with Prehistoric Beasts" where they use computer generated images set in real locations to recreate what life was like a very long time ago. One of the shows followed the life of some super-sized mammal from birth through the first 3 years of life. We witnessed as he fell out of the birth canal, learned to walk, avoided being eaten, had his first swim, weaned from his mother, and attempted to interfere with the mating between his mother and another super-sized mammal. Now this last part is important because the show portrays a male of the species mounting the mother from behind and humping away while the juvenile looks on scared and confused. Jackson, having seen animal sex before but not really understanding fully, didn't bat an eye. The next show in the series featured a group of apes, Australopithecines, that walked upright and are much more closely related to humans than the super-sized mammals. Like the previous show we again follow along as different life experiences are encountered. So when the boy ape started putting the moves on the new girl ape I expected we might see some ape sex. But, no. See, unlike other animals Australopithecines do it facing each other. Instead of mounting from the rear, which to me suggests anal sex and is just wrong, Australopithecines sex evolved into a more civilized act. (Okay so that last part was completely my opinion and does not reflect the opinion of any other parties, especially my husband). Anyway, you get the point: this ape sex more closely resembles human sex. So when boy and girl ape start getting down and dirty their images are suddenly blurred out. They could have handled this in a more cinematically pleasing manner by having the two apes lie down in the tall grass so their bodies are obscured and maybe play some romantic music to drown out the moans of pleasure. But, really, how far of a stretch would it have been from seeing the super-sized mammalian sex to seeing the ape sex? You do the hokey pokey and you turn the ape around. That's what it's all about. Now before you start thinking I'm making a big deal out of this because I really wanted to see some primate porn let me tell you that I was mainly concerned with how Jackson would interpret this censorship. Suddenly the mating of two animals has become something that must be hidden from his eyes. Really it would have been much easier to explain, in 5-year old terms, what the two apes were actually doing instead of why we shouldn't be privy to it. I swear he's going to be more curious than ever now to see exactly what it looks like when two apes mate.
