What about all the games where you can shoot people? Why is that okay for kids, but a little tit here and there will destroy their view of the world?

Didn't these things get their starts by sucking on tits? So why hide them now?

There is this famous spanish porn actor. Nacho vidal, who says that we would have a better world is kids would play around with plastic dildos instead of plastic guns.

I don't know the playing with plastic dildos, but it is true how wild is the normalization of giving kids a replica of a human killing instrument to play with.

well you can't have fun running around all summer squirting water at your friends from a dildo

at least, not without getting some truly vile looks from passersby

also it's just intrinsically fun to try to shoot each other with harmless little darts that let you know you've been hit but not do anything else

Speak for your fucking self

If some company made a plastic dick that squirts water, kids would be enthralled. They wouldn't even think it was anything sexual; as far as they're concerned they'd all just be shooting pee at each other.

I love it when people define porn as "just some titties", and ignore all the violent hardcore shit that's defining a generation of men who don't understand sex or women.

And you think the solution to that is to force me to use a government porn tracking service?

How about you be responsible for your kids, and I'll be responsible for mine. I do not care what your kids do on the internet.

Until your daughter comes home with a boyfriend with a fucked up sense of what sex is and ruins her day/week/month/year/life.

I'm certainly not pro government tracking anything I do, let alone porn watching, but if I see how my own kids get exposed to it through friends. No matter how much I try to educate them, friends still show them absolute vile stuff...

Well the idea is to raise my kids not to be sexually repressed so they don't latch on to the first thing which shows them the smallest modicum of sexual attention.

They are free to make their own mistakes. Hopefully they learn from them. If they don't then it is what it is. I'm not here to dismantle the western framework of individual liberty for the misguided idea that it will prevent kids from having bad sex.

[–] Firipu@startrek.website 1 points 4 months ago

Fair enough. I'm raising my kids in a similar fashion. I dislike the sexual repression in the west (from which I unconsciously still suffer). But I'm still worried about other boys :)

Let's pair it with proper sex ed. Destigmatise sex work, break the taboos, but also teach people what is and isn't okay or healthy, how arousal works for different sexes and why their dick isn't God's gift to womankind.
