    I think porn for kids is a huge mistake and a very bad idea for humans in general. It builds fantasies in kids’ heads that don’t happen in a normal relationship. Basically, they raise the bar too high for kids and set their expectations too high that normal sex becomes straight up bad.

    That of course doesn’t mean I agree with age verification. There has to be a better way to “protect the children” than fucking everyone else up.

      I totally agree with you.

      I think porn became a replacement for nature.

      In the wild social animals see their parents or tribe or whatever you call that have intercourse in a natural way. When humans lived in tribes or small huts or one room peasant builsings it was normal as well, since the whole family would sleep in one bad. Way later, when christianity was used by aristocracy for control, came the concept of shame and hiding it as a way to create a larger percieved difference between the “higher class chosen by god” vs. the “animal like lowlives”.

      So after taking that natural experience away, young people are drawn to replace it somehow (they are naturally curious and if you make something forbidden, they want it even more) and porn is commercialized to the point of being as addictive as possible by being over the top. Which is not good.
