Allowing 14 year olds to use an app to control a sex toy is still disgusting, and a policy allowing it is equally disgusting. Policy should be changed then. And anyone downvoting dare to actually have a conversation about what you find so acceptable about allowing kids to use this app? To be clear, I don't care about votes, but it's certainly a curious topic to downvote quietly

It’s been a few decades, but I’m pretty sure I was self-pleasuring by around that age, which seems fairly normal and healthy to me. This seems like a reasonable accessory that some people might choose for that valid purpose. (For clarity I didn’t downvote.)

  sex toys yes, internet-enabled sex toys no. teens can use regular magic wands with nothing more sophisticated than a oscillation dial. morals aside, underage use of this would probably fall afoul of child porn laws, even if both parties to the teledildonics session were minors (see the litigation on sexting)

  I should have been clearer that the big part of my issue is that it is connected to social media, so it's not just a 14 year old with a toy, it's likely going to be a 40 guy and a 14 year old, "hey let's meet up this weekend, I'm 14 too"

Uh, what's wrong with teens using sex toys? I mean, it's widely agreed that people under 18 cannot consent to sexual contact, but this is the first time I've seen someone extend this to sexual contact with themselves. (Sex toys are largely used for masturbation.)

  Nothing! but this is social media connected device, allowing kids and adults to share a sex toy, share photos, etc...I have a hard time seeing it appropriate in that context
