I don’t see the words “child sexual abuse” being used to describe boys this age interacting with modern internet porn. This problem festers because we will not name it. For fear of offending the abusers?

It's complex, so often the victims are also the abusers, especially with self-generated CSAM. This is why I believe awareness in parents and delaying access is the most important and responsible thing we can do for our children. Parents don't want to talk to other parents about it, because it still feels taboo.

You are willing to settle for “delaying” access? That’s capitulation to me. Again, thanks for engaging at all, sorry I am outraged. How dare these porn companies insinuate themselves in to a billion young peoples sex lives? How dare they?

Love this thanks Hannah. Most people do not see how "porn" hits teen boys. It is harder than crack-cocaine. I have done both. A boy who sees internet porn for the first time gets a dopamine hit bigger then the biggest hit of crack possible, bigger, tied to his most profound feelings.He's 12. It is child sexual abuse most foul. Women understand "porn" as much as men understand getting your period. It is evil. Even the anti-porn activists dare not speak the truth. It is unholy. Modern Internet Porn shook the foundations of men's worlds. I remember, This is insane and no one addresses it. So many boys are demoralized and disillusioned. The message of porn is: women don't need a man. You are unworthy. Love is a joke. Women love the worst men. Paired with a bigger dopamine hit then heroin. I'm being serious. It is evil to do this to hundreds of millions of teen boys, and the poor women, mothers and girls in their orbit. If people knew what has happening inside their son when he discovers modern internet porn, you would take to the ramparts right now.

Honestly, we abandoned a generation of boys to ubiquitous self-worth destroying "porn", introducing them to sex by violating their consent in this humiliating way. The popularity of PH and OF is a public humiliation for all men. We could not protect our sons, daughters or ourselves from this horror. The revelation of women's secret desires to unsophisticated men, was too much to resist. Man, lets teach boys just how bad just and jealousy can feel when amplified by evolution-defying technology and wed it to your sex. at age 12. Great job parents! Why is ponr so full of misogyny? Becuase straight men are hate watching their worst nightmare play out in front of them. Beautiful women surrendering to terrible men and loving it in a way unknowable to men, that a great rite of passage into puberty for boys. Wonderful. Why such a nonchalant response for 20 years ? Even know, no one seems aware just how emasculated and useless porn makes boys feel. Its so terrible, and then to be blamed and told thy like it. They are coping with this horror. The normalization of women being promiscuous and using sex toys etc. is and straight teen boys worst nightmare. Teen boys are puritanical and patriarchal, while their hormones are out of control that's what makes puberty so tough. Porn attacks their worst psychological impulse. It is about women taking revenge on men for the oppression of the past. We let sick people take their rage out on our sons in a sexual way and they are paying for it big time. Ugh. Why do we all neglect this?
