Some day an honest conversation about how in our current internet landscape boys learn about sex through consuming hardcore pornography before they even kiss someone and whether that's something we want as a society needs to happen.
- ctrlp 3y ago"Lord, give me chastity and continence, but not yet!"
- falcolas 3y ago> whether that's something we want as a society needs to happen Not sure there's a choice. The allure of the taboo draws people in, even when they are not interested in the acts themselves. We should instead tailor education to assume that boys and girls will find a way to access porn.
- vacuity 3y agoDo you mean that sex ed classes should discuss how porn affects expectations of sex? That does seem reasonable.
- falcolas 3y agoYup. Reasonable, and perhaps even required. Similar to sex itself, aside from "abstinence only" positions on porn, there's very little open or fact-driven discussion about it.
- ahalbert 3y agoThe author thinks that porn literacy is a good thing, but she notes that it's difficult to teach students to read texts you can't show them.
- smitty1e 3y agoUntil we re-prioritize the f-word--family--the rest of the discussion is tangential.
- vacuity 3y agoWhat is the issue and what needs to be done?
- smitty1e 3y agoThe issue is that families are the Lego blocks of society and "we" have systematically destroyed the idea of family on the altar of Progress. The remedy is to return to the traditional notion of family that was not the depraved wreckage you see before you.
