This is a little ranty- I'm in a ranty mood. I also have a bit of a thing about lying. Sorry.

This is a good example of why I've never had much interest in making online fandom friends. Sure, I really hate the idea of 12 year olds reading my porn. Even worse to me, though, is the idea that people can lie about whatever they please on the internet. I know that seems a little ridiculous and, well, obvious, but it's a part of online communication that I hate.

I also hate that being honest and maybe putting off experiencing the seedier parts of fandom for a few years is, less important to people than doing what they want. Children are getting sexualized younger and younger these days, and I have no desire to play a part in that. Sexual exploration is great, but porn and kink memes are not a place for children.

It's alright if you don't agree, but by lying, you make everyone who could possibly disagree with you complicit in your actions. I just find it really disrespectful and entitled. Like I said, I'm ranty, but there it is.

I'm just curious...what age do you consider someone not a child anymore? 18 seems a bit late.

Children are not "sexualized". They are not born asexual. In fact, even infants have the capability to orgasm. While it sometimes upsets me that I essentially got my sex ed in fandom and I don't think that is how that should happen, the general woman-friendly atmosphere and my own drive to learn meant that I got quite the education, and overall I believe it was a positive one.

I didn't have a word for masturbation for years, and for years I thought it was some sort of terrible disease and I was going to die. This was fucking terrifying to me. This isn't because I was sexualized young, either. It's because no one taught me about the sexuality I had. In fact, self-pleasure wasn't mentioned in sex ed curiculum until I was what, 15? And that's laughably late.

So I'm sorry if it makes you uncomfortable that I might have read your porn when I was 12, but I don't believe that there's something inherently wrong with exploring your sexuality at such an age through something as low-pressure, non-interactive and individual as reading erotica, especially if it has an overall sex-positive tone. At the time it was my only option. Certainly better than having sex before you're ready.

I'd have to agree. I came from a very conservative family with very conservative values who's idea of sex education was to give me a book on menstruation when I turned thirteen. I figured out the basic idea from what people wouldn't talk about, but I was still mostly clueless.
So there's ten year old me who suddenly discovers masturbation entirely on accident and all I knew was that it felt good, but that I wasn't supposed to talk about it to anybody. That's a pretty sure way to fuck up someone's sexual education.

I ended up getting my sex ed from fandom way later than most. And honestly, a fandom education is much better than none at all. Or teaching kids that sex is baaaad and eviiiiil.

I'm pretty sure the OC is less concerned about sexual education, and more about the fact that, by lying, you're getting people who may or may not be cool with someone underage reading their smut/looking at their smutty art/rping sexual situations with them to let you do just that with false information...which is a very valid point since there *is* a chance, granted a small one, that they could get into legal trouble because of it.

This is a great post.

I thought masturbation was this horrible, dirty thing and I was going for hell for it. My mom caught my doing it once when I was very young and didn't even know what it was, and she drilled it into my brain was what I did was dirty and wrong and to never do it again. I had some huge guilt over it, and if it weren't for fandom I probably still would even though I'm nearly a grown ass adult.

It seems many forget that children also are more prone to take what their "friends" state as correct, over what a doctor would tell them.

Hence, a misinformed smut writer could seriously spread their ignorance to their readers, who could be harmed or get an STD, or become traumatized due to a negative experience.

There is a time for everything. A childhood is to enjoy playing and learning. You have the rest of your life to fuck like a rabbit.

This. In fact, it wasn't long ago in this very community that somebody was under the impression that they were inherently less likely to get STDs from lesbian sex than het sex -- and I'd bet all my donuts that belief did not come from a medical professional.
