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.
