    Just to address one of your points, since you made several: What’s wrong with talking about masturbation? It’s something most people do and should not be shameful; if anything it should be more normalised.

        How old are these “kids”? If they’re old enough to masturbate, they’re evidently not prepubescent, and if they’re old enough to masturbate, why would they not be old enough to talk about masturbation? And in fact, at any age, why should talking about masturbation be something to be ashamed of?

          Porn does not equal masturbation. And talking about masturbation in a beginning of the year ice breaker activity is not appropriate anyway.

          I don’t understand the conflation here. I had said nothing about masturbation, which is healthy and fine. It’s problematic however, that 15 year olds are exposed to hard core BDSM shit with no explanation that while yes, some women do like it if you hit or choke them, those are not part and parcel of normal sex and should be carefully negotiated.

          There’s been a huge uptick in kids choking each other, because they see it in porn. Choking is something that a lot of actual BDSM dungeons ban because it is that unsafe.
