The problem is they don't think it's extreme. It's been normalized. |
So? It appears to be consensual. Blaming this on boys is sexist. And wrong. |
Is it truly consensual as in something that the girls would want for themselves even if they had never been exposed to porn? Or porn-addled guys asking for it (or just doing it without asking) and then she comes to see it as an expectation/a normal thing? I’m not blaming it on boys BTW, I’m blaming it on porn. |
To those of you who don't see the problem, I really beg you to consider whether you want to raise a kid who is capable of squeezing life out of someone for pleasure. Do you not understand that if things go wrong, they are looking at very serious felony charges including life in prison?

I’m not sure why everyone is so defensive. It’s a sickening trend if it’s real (NYTimes is constantly drumming up “trends”) and the article clearly states that it’s boots and girls who are partaking. There’s no reason to believe the article and then not believe that part of it. If this is a problem then rather than turn it into a boy vs girl issue it would behoove everyone to just talk to their kids about sex and ways that are loving and fun and helpful
And ways that are not. |
I guess you didn't read the article? It describes some consensual behavior but also boys strangling girls mid-sec without asking. Girls can't breathe to say no. Criminal, not consensual. |
True but also girls apparently need to be explicitly told that this is dangerous and stupid and to not experiment or think it's ok. Both can be true. So, talk to your daughters about safe sex beyond contraception. |
Those of you who think you are stopping your kids from accessing it are just wrong. There is no way to prevent a kid from seeing porn whether or not they have a phone and whether or not you are under the impression that you are on top of their online activities. Your kids are likely more tech savvy than you are and they have friends and school and the library and your computer when you aren't looking and so many other options. You can and should talk to them about it but you can't stop it or block access. It's just not physically or technically possible. |
Everyone should check out this organization. This is not a new phenomenon. https://wecantconsenttothis.uk/ |
This part alone is shocking to me:
The rate of those women who said they were between the ages 12 and 17 the first time that (strangling) happened had shot up to 40 percent from one in four. |
Do you remember the famous actor, David Caradine? He was killed during a session of erotic auto-asphyxiation. He was alone at the time. It’s a kink he was into. Because, he enjoyed it. |
I had no idea this was so popular. I'm so glad to be vanilla. |
Twelve. Wow. |
Yeah whenever I see these guys on this website who complain about women being too vanilla, I think tjey are probably these guys. This is really sickening. I am gojng to talk to my teen son about this and he is gojng to be SO IRRITATED with me for it. |
Stop/prevent your kids from watching porn. They're delusional and completely desensitized to reality. It's incredibly harmful. Definitely start talking to them from a young age about it. |
