Why do you think that? I think it's a good thing for minors to have unrestricted access to porn

e40 3y ago
My 22 year old son vehemently disagrees. And from what I've read from young men, many agree with him. When I (we?) were kids porn was Playboy or Penthouse or Hustler. Tame by comparison to today. As my son stressed with me, you can find _anything_ via the internet. Anything. ANYTHING. A developing brain can't unsee stuff and it does warp people's perceptions of what is normal. Having said that, I am deeply suspicious of any move to "protect the children" because it's always used as a cover for a move toward authoritarianism.

  I'm not that much older than your son and had a different experience. (My youth was definitely not magazines, if that's what playboy and penthouse are supposed to refer to.) I think we'll need more than n=2 before being able to come to an informed conclusion here.

  “Children, after we watch Daniel Tiger, we will watch what happens to this school teacher by all these men” There is actually a long dark history of adults abusing children by exposing/exploiting them in regards to such topics. It was rife in Germany post WW2 in certain communities, currently a huge issue in Pakistan. Child trafficking on an absolute basis is higher now than it has been. That’s just to say, people like who you are asking to seek help are numerous and unchecked behavior in this area has a dark history in humanity.

Call me a prude. Call me old fashioned. Call me small minded. But watching a woman getting chocked while DPed in her anus while a half dozen men ejaculate on her is not the type of extra-curricular activity [1] I want my soon to be teenaged daughters' boyfriends interested in. Im just... overprotective I guess. [1] If anyone calls me out for knowing what's on the front page of all of these smut sites, guess what? We all know what's on those sites!

  I’m sympathetic to your argument, but consider the case where you remove the sex from the above picture. It is normal and not specially restricted to have violent torture-like scenes in modern media. The problem isn’t the sex. The problem is the violence.

  Getting choked is a common fetish though.

      Do you have any evidence? Seems like a whole lot of people were deeply hurt by feet.

    Would it be as prevalent if minors weren't exposed to hardcore porn?

      Does it matter? Why is it bad when people like getting choked and it's happening consensually?
