Sexual education is what keeps children safe. Censorship is what’s dangerous to them because then they’re unprepared for all of the things they are going to do anyway. Sexual education raises healthy adults. Censorship is what gets you these incel/looksmaxing lunatics.

Holy shit.
I’m ugly, but I’ve never in my life thought "You know what would make my face look better? Hammer to my own face! Lets break my skull bones! What could possibly go wrong?
And haaaaaaaang on. Did you say he’s promoting penis pumps to CHILDREN???
JESUS!!!
Ok, forget the fact that penis pumps don’t actually work anyways…what POSSIBLE use would CHILDREN have for penis pumps??? If you’re raising your kid right, they should have zero clue what thats for anyways! Kids shouldn’t be thinking about sex at all, much less being targeted for sex toy advertisements!!!
Quick question, honest question…would a jury convict me if I just stabbed this guy? They’d get what I was doing right? I feel like someone needs to stab him.

FWIW the bonesmashing is a funny MSM headliner but the reality is that it’s not even remotely close to how it sounds when people meme about it lol. It’s microfactures in specific places and there’s some (but hardly conclusive) evidence supporting this
Keep in mind that to an extreme autist like Clav, the difference between braces for straight teeth and using a mallet to cause microfactures in the cheek bones is no different. And in defense of the autists, these lines are purely cultural human constructs. In Europe they’d see American teeth culture probably similar to how you’d view much of the looksmaxxing methods African culture is big into wigs and fake hair so every cultural group of people have body modifications that are allowed and those that are taboo but these lines change throughout history and across geography. Not to defend these methods used by this group of people but also hard to judge when my parents had me go through braces to get unnaturally straight teeth

Did you not think about sex when you were in your teens, or do you not believe teens are kids? Either one is kind of weird, no?
Like, what age do they do sex ed where you are?
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 20 hours ago
I think of infants/babies from 0-1, children/ from 1-12, and teens from 13-19. And they don’t do sex ed where I’m from. I’m 42, and still my dad doesn’t think I’m old enough for the talk.
But if I were a parent, I’d probably do it around age 14. Enough time that they’ve felt some of puberty, and enough to understand what I’m talking about, but young enough that they haven’t done something stupid yet.
Last thing you want is for you to sit down your 8 year old kid, and try to have the talk, only for them to react with “eeewww cooties!” And for a kid? Yeah. That would be the correct response.

Pretty sure you should warn someone that they can get pregnant before they hit puberty. 14 is too old for that.
CuddlyCassowary@lemmy.world 20 hours ago
Yeah - like 11 or 12 is hopefully “safe.”
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 18 hours ago
…you’re worried about a kid getting pregnant, but also being advertised penis pumps to?
Gotta say, I don’t think that’s gonna be an issue…

8 year olds are not only talking and joking about sex, they’re having it. Hell 8 year olds are committing suicide. I grew up in the 80s and we were definitely playing doctor and more, we had porn stashes in a bush in the woods somewhere (boys you know what I’m talking about). Waiting to have the talk until 14 is how you end up a grandparent before 40.

Well, this just goes to show my original comment about if you’re raising your kid right, they won’t know about sex.
I ALSO grew up in the 80s, and I was watching peewees playhouse, and mr rodgers, and teenage mutant ninja turtles. I had no clue what sex was until 14/15. And didn’t have sex until I was either 17 or 18.
If your kids are willingly having sex at age 8, you’ve failed your child. If they’re being raped, I wouldn’t call that “having sex”, but the rapist needs to die.

Sex ed at a young age is important so children know when an adult is doing something they shouldn’t to them. In my school we had it the first time in 3rd grade to make children understand what is and isn’t normal to happen or for adults to do

Ich N the Netherlands sex ed starts around gerade 3. Incidentally they also have one of the lowest rates of teen pregnancy. I’m sure those two facts aren’t related though…

I got the talk formatted as a series of age appropriate conversations across growing up and it was very good for me. A little kid should know the names of genitals, what a bad touch is, and that they can say no to being touched. A kid should know what puberty is and what they can expect from it before it happens as well as that babies come from pregnancy. A pubescent kid should know enough not to make stupid choices before their body pushes them to make those choices. And at every age, you should answer any questions they have in an age appropriate manner.
Yeah it’s awkward and uncomfortable, but this is a part of life and if you don’t talk to the kid about this stuff their peers or the internet will, and you really want the person explaining these sensitive topics to your child to be a mature adult with their best interests in mind. It’s much better to get an “ew I’m not feeling that way” than “don’t worry, [influncer] has already told me all about this”

Fair enough.
