On the one hand, I basically agree with this sentiment. The Internet doesn't always promote healthy attitudes towards sex, but it's a hell of a lot healthier than anything I heard in sex ed, and I think it will ultimately result in a generation with fewer sexual hangups.

On the other hand, "adultism"? Seriously?

While I also grew up on the internet and got a lot of my sex ed from it, I disagree with it leading to less sexual hang ups. It will erase some, for sure - but I think it will (and already has) created a whole slew of replacement hang ups, internet porn addiction and its variations to name just one.

I have a very hard time believing that porn addiction is a real thing.

I think the internet doesn't have to promote healthy attitudes towards sex. I mean, you can find healthy attitudes, but showcasing the other attitudes people have towards sex and the ways that some of those beliefs are self-serving, exploitative, and broken, is really useful and educational in its own way. It's a lot easier to realize "oh, hey, this is dangerous" when you're reading something than when you have an offline person trying to convince you that it's actually romantic.

In the context of "your feelings are icky to me specifically because you're not 18 yet" ... yeah. Seriously. If you interpret that differently, though, I'd be glad to hear why.

So are you just ignoring legal shit?

I think if the law is shortsighted enough to get an adult in trouble because a child picked up something they wrote, the problem isn't with the child*. It's with the law. Our laws should be expected to keep up with the times and differentiate between writing porn and creeping on children.

*whether they're lying about their age or not.

But if the laws haven't kept up, the responsibility falls to the adult to cover their own ass. And deniability falls steeply if kids are blatantly stating their ages.

But if that's the problem, doesn't it seem to you that telling kids to lie about their age, generation after generation, is a really crappy fix?

It's a good bandaid to keep adults out of jail.

(Anonymous) 2014-03-09 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Especially if the kid's parents find out, and are lawyer-happy. Because it's YOUR fault that their precious clicked on your porny link, even if it says "don't click if you're not legal in your country of residence".

When you're older you'll understand.
