Regarding your second reason: why do you think that is true? Is it merely a hunch which is clouded by your personal views about sex/violence? Why would there be a difference?
Regarding your third reason: I would much rather my child be sexually liberated than grow up to be violent.
I also think making kids close their eyes when there's a sex scene is the best way possible to make your kids really curious about sex, which will lead to the exact opposite effect you want. If you stop your kids from seeing something, they will become much more curious about it. So really stopping kids from seeing anything will backfire :P
To clarify, it depends a lot on the age of the kid and the intensity of the sex scene. If the kid was 5 years old, I wouldn't want them to see any violent or sexual stuff. If they were a bit older, like 11, I would mind them seeing some sexual stuff so long as there wasn't full nudity and I wouldn't mind them seeing violent stuff so long as it wasn't presented in a way that encouraged violence as a way to solve your problems and so long as it wasn't bloody or gory. After 15, you can't really control what they see anymore so anything goes.
I mostly base it on my own experiences with what I was exposed to and what I can observe in my child. We talk about the films afterwards and she has a healthy understanding of it.
I should have clarified in the OP, I don't think sex is shameful or bad. It's not that I'm trying to hide sex altogether, I am only trying to keep the exposure to it at an age-appropriate level. When I said 'act inappropriately' I meant age inappropriate, not that sex is inappropriate in itself.
My child is 5 and she enjoys horror films immensely, we both do, so we watch them together.
Of course it is! Violence is not the same as sex. If your child sees something sexual it might harm them. A guy destroying a zombie versus a man having sex with two hookers. I think the zombie movie is the lesser of two evils. My parents did not permit me or my siblings to watch sexual things till a certien age. I also think its better not to teach them any bad habits early. Since if you have a 5 year old trying to pull his thing out to all the girls at school you are going to have some serious problems. Children bicker, wrestle, brawl and get in confrontations with other children. Should probobly teach them how to handle these type of situations at a young age. So they have to deal with violence at an early age anyhow. So yeah its very normal.
Is it normal to let child watch violent scenes but not sex scenes?

I thought it said;
"I would much rather my child be sexually violent than grow up to be liberated."
Damn my selective dyslexia.

They made age ratings for a reason.
What kind of horror films? Give some examples please. It's hard to have an opinion without knowing more.
I was able to watch both and if I didn't want to see something, I wouldn't watch.
