I don’t think this will be an issue with the regulars, but because I’m paranoid about some random users coming in, it’s okay to be gay or transgender or whatever you identify as. Saying otherwise is bigotry, rule 1.

    The quote doesnt seem humorous to me. Sounds like theyre trying conversion therapy.

    Wheres the joke in “Think about it: Let’s say you’re 12 years old, you’re still figuring out your sexuality, maybe even your gender, wouldn’t it be helpful to see, not a celebration but just maybe a normalization of something that you think is what you want?”

      The issue is 12 year olds having access to porn at all.

      On the other hand, I had access to porn in middle school…when the internet was just getting started…sooo…who am I to say it’s a problem? lol

        It’s not a problem. Rather, exposure to sex isn’t. I’m not going to get into if modern porn is harmful. But sex isn’t a traumatic thing. It’s one of the things everyone who wants to gets to experience in their lives.

          Yeah, but porn through Pornhub, or generally porn as a business, with all the awful incentives of businesses, is absolutely a problem.

          I get wanting to have sex. Been there. But the fulfillment of sex through porn is like the fulfillment of nourishing your body by eating junk food: it only hurts you. And both industries, porn and junk food, are intended to get you addicted and coming back for more.

          No, not everyone does. I know several virgin liberals in the 40’s. Otherwise I agree. Sex by itself is a gift.
