RE: Sex is normal - so why do we shield our teens from it?

in #womenspeakout7 years ago

Yes. Bad porn is bad. Bad sex made out to be good is bad.

I like your answer and want to add one thing. That in some cases violence is made out to be good. Cop stories, vigilante stories, every superhero flick ever highlights that violence is good when the cause and mentality is to "save" someone. Usually its men saving women and children. eyeroll Sometimes its mostly men and some highly sexualized eye candy saving "the world"

At one point in my life i refuses to watch my beloved superhero flicks because it was only about explosions and male egos. Lately its gotten * better * Marvel chatacters for instance are more complex, violence for daredevil for example is a necessary evil but stands by a code not to kill... etc... still lots of fighting-- and yes, i think it can influence children and even some adults.

Fair point. Violence for a good cause is definitely celebrated in some cultures.
