(Reuters) - Canada's federal science museum has removed an animated video showing youth masturbating from an upcoming sex exhibit following a public outcry, a museum spokesman said on Wednesday.

But the facility has decided to remove the video and raise to 16 from 12 years the minimum age for unaccompanied children to tour the exhibit designed to answer questions youth have about sexuality.

The show includes life-sized, full-frontal nude photos of males and females at various stages of life, and Canada's Sun newspapers have described a "climax room" showing animations of aroused genitals with a voice of a man describing an orgasm.

2. Why

It isn't like the people objecting were likely going to go see the exhibition anyway. Raising the age to 16 seems to be an ok idea though.

3. Because sex education should wait until someone is 16...

...and has a child and two STDs.

5. Well, kids have and will continue to have sex without the benefit of museum exhibits.
