Name Change posted:Modern sex ed needs to address porn in any substantive way More than that, I think it needs to address the questions that are currently being incorrectly answered by porn. Sex is cool and fun, and teenagers want to know how to do it. Sorry, that's just the way it goes. These days, if you want to learn how to do anything, you look it up on YouTube and watch a video on it, and people are applying the same logic to porn because there's not really much in the way of "here's how to pleasure others and yourself!" instructional material in comparison to the deluge of porn. This week we lost Sue Johanson, who was a great resource for such things. The reason she's so well-known is because there was a demand for the information she provided, and she did it in a factual, honest way, including discussions about consent, safety, people with disabilities, etc. Let's be honest, a lot of teenagers looking at porn are mainly horny and curious, they aren't necessarily in it for the hardcore action. There are better ways to satisfy that.

It’s also the fear of chargebacks I think. Once people bust a nut, suddenly the spending that seemed so urgent starts to seem unwise.

Irony.or.Death posted:Do you really see this going any way other than 100% of the people who object to public school sex ed chucking that pamphlet in the trash immediately? Or is that ok? What is the goal here? My proposal would be: these are the things we're going to talk about, you can either have the sex talk with your kids from your point of view first, or don't, but they're going to hear accurate, fact-based material about sexuality and sexual health, and there's just no way around that. You could even say "it's up to you to teach your kids your version of the morality of sex, we're here to talk about how it works in a very utilitarian fashion, and it will likely include things you wish didn't exist if you're a stupid prudish gently caress, but: tough poo poo, deal with it!" I wish parents wouldn't tell their kids things like "being gay is a sin" but ultimately it can't be prevented. What you can say from a sex ed perspective, for example, is "some people are sexually attracted to people of the same gender, there are varying opinions about the morality of such relationships, but it is a normal thing for many people to feel, and if you are one of those people, here's how to have safer sex. You need to make your own choice about what is moral and immoral."

This existed, it was called "woods porn." I don't know that there's a digital equivalent.

It was always going to happen, the only question is: what restrictions do we put on it, legally speaking, to limit harm?
