Why go hide in a corner to discuss this topic? (Or any topic for that matter?). The genie is out of the bottle when it comes to porn so girls and women are going to have to say no to activities that boys and men see and want to do...

 

[Warrigal]

Why? Because I don't want this serious topic to be derailed by a lot of nonsense.

 

[Ralphy1]

But it can be serious and fun at the same time...

Read the article and then come back to me.

Just post it here and I will...

That just goes to show the bovver that porn can cause Ralphy.
It's one of those emotive subjects such as religion/politics etc that you just can't win the argument/discussion on.
Best keep out of.

This is exactly the kind of subject that should never be hidden for any reason, With the exception of young children. They need to be taught, not traumatized.

Perhaps I was wrong here. I can see Warrigal's point that people generally do not take some topics seriously.

I have read the article. There is so much about this subject. Children who are abused form beliefs about relationships that are not true. They come to think that abuse is love. They can become so confused that they can't form relationships at all. They may grow up without the ability to experience feelings. They may not be able to trust men, or women. They may spend their life in anxiety, or depression. They may turn into sex offenders.

They start out as babies. They lose their innocence long before they should. The loss of innocence should be a natural process which takes us from childhood to adult hood culminating in wisdom. Not culminating in fear and loss.
