Porn doesn't come with a syllabus. It's not its job or its responsibility to be a sex educator. That's the job of schools and parents, so let's take responsibility and start educating our kids.
What's the link between porn use and sexual satisfaction? Research finds that porn is only linked to lower sexual satisfaction when the people using it feel morally conflicted about their behavior. https://t.co/qmdJa3kB6I
Fun fact: sexually open and sex positive does not mean open for business. Nor does it mean someone is down to receive pictures of your dick, gross comments on their photos, or weird ass emails.

I’m at the doctor and when I got on the scale the nurse said, “Are you okay with knowing the number on the scale or do you prefer not to?”

People who are upset about a post suggesting that checking in before emotionally unloading on someone is a considerate thing to do have never had multiple people reach out and share unprompted vivid trauma stories in the same week and it shows.
Hot piece of advice given the thread that’s circulating about asking permission before emotionally dumping on friends:
If your friend acts like they’re entitled to you, dismisses your boundaries, or treats you like a bad friend for having boundaries— they’re a bad friend.
"Submission without domination is when you keep doing what he wants even after he keeps insisting he doesn't want it. Domination without submission is when he keeps telling you to do something and you keep telling him to f*ck off." -Linda

If you don't take care of yourself, you'll reach a point where you can no longer take care of anyone else either.
