There was a ...I couldn't agree more Persephone. There was a very good programme (if a little sensationalist about it over here). And yes all the boys on the prog wanted their girlfriends to shave because that's what they see in porn. I'm not particularly prudish but the access that impressionable teens can get to stuff that really is going to warp their ideas about sex and relationships is depressing beyond belief. But genie out of the bottle I think, sadly.Jane Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17514534117777707886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215926314312539949.post-21356715872111590552009-09-07T05:57:13.961-07:002009-09-07T05:57:13.961-07:00Too true, it is scary and sad that young boys'...Too true, it is scary and sad that young boys' ideas of females are being kind of hijacked and warped by porn images which surround them.<br />It does seem to be everywhere.As mother to a daughter and two sons, I have always tried to be there for them when they have needed questions answered about ...well anything that may confuse or frighten them of course but especially apropos of porn...because I think it can be very scary for them at such a young, and crucial time of their lives..in their teens.It is easy to get things tangled up, so to speak, in the mind. Hence when you think of the high number of teenage males exposed to the stuff,it's little wonder that they are a bit jaundiced in their view of the girls they encounter every day..at school and college for instance. It is a huge worry....and sadly, one that doesn't seem to be going away any time soon. Thanks for the post Persephone.chrissie_allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11807616619363302625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215926314312539949.post-2428333872947822942009-09-07T04:48:26.286-07:002009-09-07T04:48:26.286-07:00Don't I know it! Last December, I did a post ...Don't I know it! Last December, I did a post entitled "Grown-up Sex" and got all sort of interesting searches in my stats counter. Fortunately, the "no Anonymous comments" and "pre-publishing approval" functions that Blogger offers seem to have discouraged creepy comments thus far.<br /><br />The point I was clumsily trying to make is my main concern with porn, freedom of expression being all very well, is that it warps young men's ideas of what the female body is supposed to look like. If they think hairless torsos with tiny waists and huge breasts (silicon or no) are the norm, then that's the prospect of shaving and surgery for young girls (who, come to think of it, have grown up with Barbie).Persephonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15560178981320189795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215926314312539949.post-79464986140504715262009-09-06T15:58:44.911-07:002009-09-06T15:58:44.911-07:00oh my dear! merely having 'pron' in your h...oh my dear! merely having 'pron' in your heading will attract the creepy losers who put 'pron' into the searchbox and cruise the buffet.<br /><br />Statistics Canada is pretty dumb to bother with the effort of a survey to arrive at the conclusion I could have told them for free.<br />Very disturbing to think of young girls risking their oral health too.<br /><br />Males in general are obssessed with breasts and they don't care if they are silicon.<br /><br />The male version of a Brazilian is 'sanga' - how would I know this? From blogs of course. Learn a lot from blogs!BwcaBrowniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11500142856655553009noreply@blogger.com
