What a moron. If you're referring to 14-17 year olds those are adolescents and saying a porn site specifically for adolescents (who are naturally hormonal and will be watching them anyway) sounds way better than a porn site for children.

Lol at folks itt acting like she said something terrible when thats how youre purposely interpreting it.

Kids watch porn. Especially since everyone has technology at the age of 3 nowadays. As weird as it may sound, age restricting porn to show I guess nice porn instead of just anything is the idea.

My counterpoint is just better sex ed though. Theres Youtube documentaries that explain how sex works and the different positions and the safety and dangers. Just do that instead. Its weird how people teach sex ed, but act all scary about it.

doesnt sound like such a bad idea tbh, porn does hinder views of what sex is actually like

the only thing she did wrong was use the word children instead of teenagers since she actually meant teenagers

Really, pretty much every teen has seen porn.
I started when I was 12.

This journalist instantly lost her argument the second she said 'children', because that's where people stop reading and immediately form and express their opinion on it.
Yeah this is why we need to differentiate children from teenagera instead of referring to anyone who is not 18 as a child.

Breaking news: MANY "children" watch porn. Including most of the people here when they were children (or they are currently children, and are actively watching porn now).

I hate this pseudo-Puritanical BS response to this where people are acting as if this is some insane pervert who thinks that there should be serious effort for sexual education videos that aimed to educate younger audiences consume should be more realistic and informative than depraved and disgusting like what a lot of porn is.

Yes, the way she worded it sounds terrible. No issue in pointing that out. But can people actually take themselves out of the societal taboos they have had ingrained in themselves their whole lives and think about how this could, if things were different (and the poster is suggesting they should be), then this could actually be a good thing? The sexual taboos that we have in American society is actually quite problematic for both men and women.

Sex talk was never taboo for me growing up and when you can talk about stuff without these weird judgemental backlash its much better

You want to give people too much credit. The whole of society will never NOT dive face first into disgust in defense of "children" if you suggest "adult thing". People would have probably reacted a lot better to teenagers instead of children since one is a very broad term and one specifically indicates adolescence.

As for the validity of her statement, it would never work even for teenagers. Especially if they are 15-17, since teens will do whatever the heck they want, they already consider themselves adults and are already smoking pot and drinking alcohol.

i don't give them too much credit. i'm saying people need to grow a brain and use it rather than jumping to conclusions after reading 5 words, when the entire post is 40 words or less. i'm giving them minimal credit, because most people cannot (do not) read and try to comprehend

Soft porn like she is talking about already exists. There is no need to start making "for children" videos. If children are able to look up porn, they've already passed any barriers that would prevent them from going all the way and finding God knows what. If they want to find soft porn like she is talking about, they will. No need to start making that sort of thing for children intentionally.

Nag instead of having soft core porn for children (which doesn't prevents them from accessing "hardcore" porn anyway) put real effort in actual sex ed (not like sex ed now) in how relationship, consent and mutual enjoyment works.

Like i get the idea, but the implementation is still impossible. Like if you tell 16 yrs old kid "hey you, don't watch that porn, watch this instead" you're just gonna mystify "real" porn even more and it's basically impossible to block access to the real porn for a modern kid that have better technical literacy.

Think about it. Horny teens. You tell them you're supposed to x, and not y, they gonna think y is where adults hoard all the good stuff. They're just gonna get more curious. It will never work. What work is teaching kids porn isn't how reality works and not base their expectations of sex and relationship work from pornography.

So has everyone given up on the idea of making porn more difficult for children to access? Like it's somehow not possible (even though it's easier than ever) to incorporate modern parental locks on their devices? Just giving up and making more porn specifically for them sounds like a stupid idea.

Although I remember in the UK few years ago they had a plan for an ISP-side block on adult material you'd have to opt in to on your account, to make this easier, but everyone cried their rights were being infringed as if it wasn't just a slightly better age verification, and it was never done.

It would just be an opt-in though, you're not losing access to anything... well unless you're under 18. With modern indexing, image hashing etc it would be entirely possible.

Yikes that you think it wouldn't be...? It's just a change to opt-in rather than opt-out for parental controls. Are you the against age verification part, or is this a 'my rights' thing?
