A new study published in the journal Sexuality & Culture has found that many adolescents in Spain, including those as young as 12, are not only aware of OnlyFans but also see it as a viable and even empowering way to make money. In group discussions with over 160 teenagers, researchers discovered that platforms promoting erotic content are influencing how young people—especially girls—view economic opportunity, self-worth, and sexuality. Teens frequently framed content creation as a personal choice or expression of agency, while minimizing the risks.
Your first failure in this response is a presumption that everyone’s kids have unrelenting access to YouTube, memes, or social media. Especially presuming parents are not at all making time to give the kids context as things come up due to school or otherwise, or as we open doors and give more independence.
I know lots of neighborhood kids who are clearly parented much more closely and have no clue about this stuff. I also know some neighborhood kids that play GTA online every night.
Parenting and children are not monoliths, and anecdotes aren’t truths for everyone.
Either that, or the kids are simply lying to you because talking about porn with their parents is mortifying?
Nah, not possible…
What a r/nothingeverhappens crowd this sure is.
One of our kids friends also has zero fucking interest in TV, video games, or phones. Even when he has complete access, or his parents aren’t around. All he ever wants to do is go fishing or play outside. We SEE this happen in real time when they visit or at birthday parties.
Another one only ever wants to read and write books. Physical books. Rejected tablet reading.
Of course some kids we know play GTA. We talk with our kids and put context around things.
But you know, impossible that some of these kids today just aren’t all shitheads and might not have heard of some porn out there, and impossible that some anecdotes aren’t universal truths.
Do you think most kids by the age of 12, haven’t seen any porn, at all?
You then know a lot of neighborhood kids who have lied to you about their knowledge of this stuff.
Lovely how so many of you are just settled that all kids are liars and all kids are ruined by the internet and all kids are exposed to porn.
Any other boomerisms from you? Sexist tropes? Bigoted stereotypes?
Most kids aren’t homeschooled
Mine have always been in public county schools. We’ve also moved. They’ve been in more than one. They have friends from school, from the neighborhood, from other events like sports.
Not everyone’s kids are the same. Not everyone kid wants to do or does the same shit.
You missed, “and such.” Behold the power of peers and socialization! My point is, they likely have heard of it.
