Comment on adult porn is gross

huh i wonder if age 10-12 is where most kids discover porn. i was 10 and my 11 yr old cousin asked me if i know what porn is. i said no and then he showed me all kinds of wild shit. cheers to our unlimited internet access
I didn’t even get the internet until I was 20 and then it was crappy dial-up that used to take 45 minutes to download a single picture.
Na, porn was in magazines and on VHS. I don’t think I really got to see any of that until I was 15, but that was because it was easier to limit access back then.
congrats sir, you are probably mentally stable now lol
Porn does not have significant negative effects on your brain or you development. Unless it becomes compulsive or starts having a negative impact on your life, it is perfectly normal and healthy to use porn. Most people who use porn have a healthy relationship with it most of the time - it’s an enjoyable distraction, like watching tv or browsing Lemmy.
absolutely you are correct. you just gotta have self control
I do remember looking up porn at that age, but it was just to laugh at it. I found it disgusting at the time, and hilarious. I was pretty much sex-repulsed until my early 20’s.
are you sure u aint asexual? nothing wrong with that
I do consider myself greysexual now. It’s weird being greysexual, 'cause you think you can relate to your allowsexual friends, but then they won’t stop wanting a grilfriend, to the point that they will put themselves in life’s risk for some chance. One even fell for some romance scams (didn’t help that he was a manipulative pathological liar himself).
It’s so weird and scary that they could just not focus on something else. Meanwhile, I can forget about that and focus on a hobby or local politics or something.
i think the term is allosexual but its pretty funny you said allowsexual… when was it you realized? i realized i was ace at 21. im 25 now
I discovered it when I was like 15-16. But Some middle schooler did explain to me where kids come from when I was 8 that was a whole thing.
I was 15
Yep, about right for me.

Opinion: I think curiosity about sex/pleasure starts a lot younger age than I feel most people are comfortable acknowledging/talking about openly.

More directly, 18 is not the moment you take the shrink-wrap off your genitals. It’s when you get thrown to the wolves. It’s the point where you’re assumed to already know enough that all your future decisions are your own fault.
Drives me up the wall when fandoms are like ‘You can’t show that seventeen-year-old having impure thoughts about a close friend! It’s still six months until they can get facefucked on camera for money.’ If y’all can’t handle that for fictional characters, the unrefined horniness of actual pubescent humans is going to obliterate your psyche.

It is pretty much a fact that many people aren’t keen on talking. I mean, you’ll be hard pressed to find any 13yo boy who never masturbated. Girls probably don’t masturbate as much, since they’re much more likely to suffer psychological terror from religious parents, but they also get horny and ovulation will make them extra horny. Hormones don’t give a shit.
