Multiple countries are trying to force porn sites to have an efficient age verification. With frightening numbers like half of 12 year old boys go monthly to porn sites.
Sure for an adult who remember the time where at best one kid would have brought a magazine to school, it feels concerning. However, it’s been easily 20 years that every household has high speed internet which is full of porn. So the kids under 30 (let’s call them Gen-Z) had a massive access to porn while growing up.
Is there any “sociologicial” studies about how it impacted these young adults ? Are they sexually more fucked-up than the millennials ?
Shame really.
Sex is so much fun, and being open and comfortable with it and kink in general is incredibly freeing.
It’s a form of play that doesn’t get treated like a form of play by society.
Are you talking about America or Europe? In America, sex is for the devil and casual sex sends you straight to the 9th circle. But in seriousness, youre right. Much of America is taught abstinence and shame, so its not as free and open as I wish it would be.
We may have been taught abstinence and shame, but, that didn’t stop us from having sex.
What it did do was make us stupid and have unprotected sex, which lead to all sorts of harm, simply because we didn’t know better.
I mean, kinda does. The grand majority of people are largely unfamiliar and uncomfortable with sex or sex-adjacent play as a casual thing.
You’re sure about that?
Your link doesn’t address my assertion?
Better sex ed reduces teen births. I’m not refuting that or even referring to that.
Emphasis mine. It does prevent ^* us from having sex, just at a more abstract level. Only a subset of society is comfortable with sex and sex adjacent activities as a form of casual play.
^* Prevent, not stop. Words are important…
That’s just how society is, most stuff just isn’t logical or ethical. As such, there are people that get aggressive over others asking questions, how is that socially acceptable?
But yes, acceptance by society doesn’t mean it’s right. Majority of the time morality is forcefully projected into others, and penalised if they dare to question that morality.
