Venting How old were you when you realised you weren't going to have a successful sexlife?
Plenty of alcoholics drink on the job.
B
True and those are the ones more likely to get fired. Most alcoholics don’t drink until after work.
Yeah, they might get fired. That makes it bad. And they know it, but they still do it. There you have it, actions not reflecting beliefs.
B
Most of them don’t though. That’s a minority that do it on the job. Which is the same with how people view adolescents seeing porn, only a few are outraged.
the thought never went came across my head
For me it was 18, and I know that is pretty late, but even though I was sexually turned on by women at least since around the age of 14 or 15, I actually really didn't care about IRL women much until I was about 18. I just liked looking at online or digital/fake women like Lara Croft. Hell, I don't even think I actually masturbated and coomed (while awake, not a wet dream) for the first time until I was probably 17.
Something changed when I was 18 and soon after that I got a oneitis that I delusionally liked. Within a couple of months that whole situation went south and it was then that I realized I would never actually have a sex life or a romantic life. That was when I got blackpilled for real for the first time.
I
When I was young I remember I thought the average penis size was 12 inches, so imagine how I felt for a long time when mine fell significantly short of that 
I
Then when I was 20 or so I got big into PUA thinking I was just not saying the right things and dressing the right way and that’s why women didn’t want me. To be naive and hopefull again
You must not be working the right jobs. But even if alcoholics don't drink at work, being an alcoholic isn't just a threat to your job. So avoiding it at work doesn't make it "like Pringles."
There is no acceptable alcoholism. There's no acceptable "eating Pringles for breakfast everyday" either, but you're not really making a case for alcoholism and children exposed to porn being things people don't care about.
B
People do care about alcoholism, but when kids get exposed to porn it’s just “whatevs”, same with teens drinking and having sex. We live in a liberal society nowadays. People used to get outraged at fags existing and now they can get married. Times change.
17, before that I wasn't even attempting to hit on girls.
How the fuck do people care about alcoholism, but not teen alcoholism??? Do you live on this planet? You're talking like a crazy person. I don't think you live in the real world.
18.

Teens drinking =/= teen alcoholism. Most teens who drink aren’t alcoholics.
However strong the habit, kids drinking alcohol is generally considered wrong.
You talk of "lip service," service to who? If the standard didn't exist, the lip service wouldn't exist. We have the lip service because the principle exists that teen drinking is bad, same as all that other stuff. Even if we do nothing to stop it, if we're saying it's bad, that is itself evidence of the standard.
A standard is just a rule. Whether you break it or not is irrelevant, what matters is if the rule exists.
B
People will say it’s wrong but don’t actually care. Some will even say it’s not bad as long as it’s only a few drinks on rare occasions.
Lip service is when porn companies ask you to confirm you are 18.
A rule that isn’t enforced is lip service. And there is no rule that says people under 18 can’t have sex.
When my kindergarten teacher - with massive boobs who I had a crush on at that time - looked at me like subhuman scum instead of risking herselfe to be with me JFL
Girls have been fucking and sucking since 14 15
But the rule exists. If people didn't care, the rule wouldn't exist. In principle these things are still wrong.
15 is when i got to the realisation that no foid wants a 5,4 subhuman currycel
B
The rule exists because people in the past cared. There is no political push to change the rule because any politician who does advocate for a change would be committing political suicide. So the “rule” remains despite no one caring to enforce it.
Political suicide? If everyone believes the rule is invalid, why would it do anything but help the politician? You're talking nonsense.
B
Nope, don’t twist my words. I said no one cares about enforcing the rule.
Idk, maybe 16 or so, but fully accepted it at 19
That wasn't what we were discussing. We were discussing whether or not the rule exists. I specifically said at the start of this thing that plenty of rules exist that people don't enforce.
B
The rule exists because in the past people cared about it. Nowadays people don’t care to enforce it. However openly pushing for the rule on paper to change is social/political suicide, so people don’t waste the effort.
It's only political suicide if people care about the rule. If it's not a rule anyone believes in anymore, it can only help you by changing the rule.
33 or 34.

B
Wrong, it’s political suicide because people will frame it as “this politician wants to expose porn to minors.”
Well there ya go, exposing porn to minors is wrong.
If that wasn't a thing people cared about, said politician could take a page from your book and say "No one cares about this anymore, it's changing times." And people would say "He's right, times have changed and I don't care about this."
16/17.
B
Nope, it’s that it’s seen as predatory and pedophilic to want to expose minors to porn. However if minors see porn by stumbling across it, no one cares. Same with adults going after teenagers vs teenagers having sex with each other.
Knew it was over at 14
Brutal
He's not saying "We should get to show porn to kids," he's saying "We shouldn't get mad if kids aren't protected from seeing porn."
B
Nope, it’s the former not the latter.
What are you talking about??? All he's doing is saying what you say everyone supposedly believes!
B
Nope, read my post again. If he is advocating for a change in the law, it comes across as wanting to expose more minors to porn.
"It comes across?" You're being ridiculous. Absolute cop-out to say "Nah people would be fine with it but they would get confused by what's happening."
Look, you're explaining it to me, therefore a politician can explain it to everyone else.

“Not a big deal.”
The comment section clearly shows people don’t care that much and think it’s normal.
That's the best you got? "Parenting is complicated, therefore people are okay with kids watching porn?" It's an evil people have accepted because it's not practical to stop the kids. They're not okay with it, they just understand the reality of puberty.
B
No, the actual quote was “it’s not a big deal unless you make it a big deal.”
And you sourced it from a parenting subreddit, from one of the least popular threads. The question is how parents feel when it comes to the rules for their children in their household.
Maybe try again with a thread for people in general asking "Is it okay for kids to watch porn?"
Again, from a parenting subreddit, in a very quiet thread. You need to ask people in general. Not on a parenting subreddit.
B
It’s called a sample size. This is how people generally think. They understand teens are curious when going through puberty and they have basically accepted that’s part of adolescence, seeing some porn.
First of all, that's what I said. They understand pubescent urge. That doesn't make it appropriate and they're not saying it's appropriate. Just "understandable" and "manageable."
Second, 12 comments is no goddamned sample size in any sort of meaningful study. "We asked 12 people?" If you preface a survey with that just throw your survey out.
B
I could find many more threads on this. It’s called google search. Most people don’t care if teens watch porn that’s all there is to it.
A small handful of parents saying they can manage it is not the same as widespread belief that no content should have to be 18+ if kids "really wanna watch it."
Which is to say nothing of your original point that kids having actual sex is also somehow fine. That is a much harder argument to make.
