No they are not, and what might this experience that you're talking about be?

If a television program were to present an extremely graphic display of a sexual act, even a loving exchange between a husband and wife, conservative voices would raise a loud ruckus of protest. But these same voices are contentedly silent as horribly perverted acts of grotesque violence and utter mayhem are paraded before young and impressionable eyes.

In the US I believe this is true. But what has this to do with the alleged similarity between sex and violence?

Violence is not only the passive viewing experienced on TV or in movies or in listening to explicit rap lyrics, but is also viewed in video games that I teenagers play and some of these games do envlove decapitation (had to put that in there). In sexual acts you are rewarded and in violent video games you are rewarded with graphic bloody scenes of violence, graphic in every sense except to see the pain and loss and the damn grief that accompany such a thing in real life. These video games are far more directly interactive than TV.

What's you point? That video games are more interactive than tv? I think we can all agree on that.
I play computer games, I've played since I was a little kid. And I've played violent games too, even the ones in which you may decapitate someone (or more likely something). But though the games are interactive, they are fictional and only games, not real life. Beheading a monster in a game is hardly comparable to seeing the video in question. In the video a real person is decapitated in a cruel way, not some pixel-man.

Now in sex and violenent acts, the person envolved is an active participant

Hmmm....so this is what makes them similar?
And in violent acts one person is often quite passive.

that would be concidered sex education or self defence, if in a self defence class. or even in a psycolagy class.
the same would go for the beheading vidio tape, what would make them do such a thing, what to look for and like that

You actually believe that showing taped material of rapes could be used as some kind of education material?
And this video to be used as an educational tape?
"Now kids, remember. Don't go in a room full of bad men who have a bonesaw or a large knife and want to kill you."
Please say you're not serious...
