Many kids today are having sex at 13 and younger!

Ahem, 13 is AVERAGE. Many kids have sex at 9.

Parallel world



mymla:
Whereas sex is something men boast less of and maybe can be even ashamed of it, because sex often is like subdueing to a weaker being=a woman. Sex is more women world

What? Sex/Porn is more women world? Did I miss something?

Knitting is women's world, breast-feeding and make-up. But sex and porn?

agreed, however I don't think the quantitative measure of "many" for age nine is that large, def not as large as it is for 13. Although real numbers for this would be a serious challenge.

Reasons for my previous post



Okay I've been away for a while but you may have noticed that, at first glance, my post about anti-porn feminism is quite offtopic.

However, what we are dealing with here is why there is censorship of nudity when it is a perfectly natural thing. What I was suggesting is that porn can affect attitudes and has been proven to do so, so even if we disagree with anti-porn feminists we can still accept that it would not be a good thing to expose to children who are impressionable. The stripping of those girls at the wrestling match I mentioned was a kind of soft pornography which I was suggesting children should not be exposed to.

I am, of course, completely against anti-porn feminism. Pat Califia is quick to point out that anti-porn laws are often used to discriminate against homosexuals.

Exposing children to sex as a teacher

Why should that be acceptable that it's a bad thing? Denmark did exactly that as sex education in the 60ies or 70ies. Teachers showing kids porn.

I don't think so. The seventies were not too perverted.
