Explain to me what's so bad about buying kids sex toys. They're gonna masturbate anyways, why not make sure they do it with products designed or it? I'm a guy, and not really into butt play, so I always did fine with just my right hand, but not everyone's in that position. Penetration is really best done with objects designed for it (or both safety and pleasure) rather than with random household objects which is what kids would end up using if they didn't have access to sex toys.

change the word sex toy to pornography or sex, and you would see how ludicrous this sounds. their are certain things that a child should not be shown or advocated to do when their brain is still developing or until age appropriate. also their is a huge desensitization with adolescents about pornography within the modern world to the point where they go into further taboo subjects and vanilla sex is no longer satisfying.

let me be clear; im totally ok with the "birds and the bees talk" and whats going on with their body, but not childs first dildo type of parenting.

Masturbation is not harmful, I don't care how young the person in question is. Things become safer when they're condoned and educated-about.

My view on kinkiness and the internet is that the internet mostly makes it easier for people to discover their kinks, and those who already know about them realize they don't have to settle for "vanilla sex."

Whether something is taboo has nothing to do with whether they are actually immoral. Things that are immoral cause harm to animals (human and otherwise). If something doesn't fit that bill, it can't be considered immoral.

What's wrong with pornography, of all things? That sounds even more absurd!

…wait a minute; I think asked this before. It's because of unrealistic expectations, right? That would mean many Disney films would be just as bad though, as they also foster unrealistic sexual expectations. Plus, there is lots of pornographic content online that doesn't foster very crazy expectations too.

The Usonian taboo against sex has confused me for a long time; it gave me an impression that all sex, including sex for reproduction, was somehow bad, and it took me a while to grow out of that.

what no, thats not what I was getting at at all. what i'm saying is that because of the internet younger adolescents have been desencitized due to the pornographic content at such a young age that just like a drug addict; look for stronger more provocative content in order to satisfy the urge. That children at certain ages should not be condoned to participate or engage in activities due to their immaturity and not able to grasp those concepts essentially corrupting a childs thinking because of it.

thats why in school there is age appropriate content in teaching because you don't show 5 year olds the atrocities of war.

lets say you are right about not showing atrocity footage to 5 year olds -we are talking about 12 year olds masturbating. Masturbation is eminently appropriate to 12 year olds. and so are the tools of the trade, more or less.

Thanks for the clarification :) ; I have upvoted for this, although I'm not sure if I agree yet.

i think kids learn a lot of important things from porn.

And kids enjoy it.

we dont protect children from strong flavors or bright colors or intense music.

dont worry about their sexual pleasure. curate their experiences but dont enforce taboos.
