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.
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?
Yes, all kids (By and large) will lie to authority figures, if they feel they will be punished for a natural behavior they’ve been conditioned to believe is evil.
And, I never claimed kids are ruined by porn. Period. Internet porn, or otherwise.
Some of the truth is revealed.
Self-fulfilling prophecies are a thing. People struggle to grasp the alternative possibilities.
I didn’t think this was a hard to believe concept, that adults condition children, and in the US, and many western societies, we condition people to think anything biological or sexual is “dirty”, and associating with “dirty” leads to (often, physical) punishment.
And, all animals will avoid physical punishment, because it’s painful. Humans, and many other non-human sentient beings, also experience pain from social and emotional punishments.
I’m not sure how that’s a self-fullfilling prophecy. It’s more a description of how society works.
