Not just right-wingers.  Plenty of folks left and center have social
objections to that.  (Most of the claimed religious objections on the
right turn out to be social objections when carefully inspected.)

We live in a society that is very messed-up about sex and that isn't
going to change until people see places that are less so.  The nice
thing about the internet is that it gives kids an opportunity to see
places that are less so.  The bad thing about the internet is that it
provides no context.
