Nothing I’ve ever done in my life has ever been perfect the first time, but that is why you work at your problems, eliminate them, and get better at them, and I don’t know why sex should sit outside of this pretty much given rule.Īlso, disclaimer in case I ever wake up and decide to become prime minister, this is the internet, someone’s got to play devil’s advocate. ![]() I still went into my first relationship having unrealistic expectations that led to problems that had to be corrected. I grew up never seeing porn, had some magazines in the house I guess, and when I was too young had a friend find a 70’s tape that scared me since I was still too young to see it and immediately turned it off. Any parent who is unable to convey an important idea to a child, over the course of their entire childhood, any more strongly than a single work of fiction conveys a different perspective, in only minutes or hours of exposure, isn’t being a very active parent.īut man, lots of things happen while making love, you can decide suddenly you hate a person and fall out of love, you can fall in love even more, you can fall over and injure yourself, you can have performance issues leading into incredible amounts of verbal self disclosure followed by more love making, you can go away inside and learn something about yourself/character, you can have information exchanged, it can roll into a comedy scene as others enter. Basically the argument suggests that the education a child (and this is when we’re already past the fact that neither this game nor the fallouts are rated or intended for children) receives from playing a video game will have a greater effect than, will last longer than and not be overruled by, what the child learns from his or her parents.

Just for one example So, fifteen year old sees porno which, as per mainstream porno values, features no foreplay, cunnilingus, or anything other than a penis hammering in and out of a vagina, and believes that’s how real people go about it (when only a minority of women are able to climax solely from vaginal penetration).Įdit says: Capt. I never claimed ‘psychological damage’, but that misleading depictions of sex can give kids a very wrong idea about something they’re going to end up involved with. Eduardo del Mango says: I did make it clear in my post that I was talking about the general issue of sex and violence in the media, not in this specific game which I made no mention to. But hey, that’s just like my opinion man. I want to live in a world where you would be no more likely to break up with a girlfriend than you would be to ‘break up’ with a friend. ![]() If sex weren’t such a big deal and were depicted without people feeling uncomfortable (the way violence is depicted) people would be more open to learning about/experiencing it more for themselves and treat it with ease and maturity.
