Would it somehow be better if they sat there with the remote control and skipped the scenes themselves? I'm probably dating myself, but in the good ol' days we simply didn't show those films to the young'uns. Any film which contained any scenes deemed unsuitable for kids simply didn't get run at my place... No fast forwarding by hand or machine required. It would be a scream to run a porno flick through this system - the movie would be over in like a minute or two... Slam bam, thank you ma'am!
