In recent weeks, I’ve discovered FARK.com, an amusing online compendium of news stories featuring the funny, assinine, heroic, idiotic antics of people as they make the news. Funny stuff.
I’ve also clicked on perhaps 10 of the “boobies” links, attracted by the thought of topless women, but soon discovering some of these linked photos are very, very explicit. If that’s your preference, I suppose that’s fine, but let’s not pretend these sites are just about “boobies.”
My real issue is that 2-3 recent “boobies” links have highlighted the words “teen sex.” I find this very troubling–troubling because I wonder why someone would need to believe the unclad female they are looking at are teens to get their kicks. Though I realize “teen” could mean 18 or 19 years old, the emphasis is on their youth and, in the absence of actual ages, the insinuation is that they could be very young indeed. (Given this possibility, I am not going to visiting any more of these links. I’ve also sent a protest e-mail, probably to no avail.)
Is anyone else troubled by this FARK.com practice–or by the general practice of some men needing to believe the females they’re seeing unclothed are underage?
It goes along with things like rape fantasies; some men (and women) are turned on by their partner’s pretended refusal to consent to sex. As long as the girls in the pictures aren’t under 18, and the people clicking those links aren’t acting on their desire for underage booty, I don’t think it’s a really Bad Thing.
Kinda gross, maybe, but then I’m 21. I suppose my opinion might be different when I’m older.
The boobies went away for two weeks for some reason, and for some people it was the longest two weeks of their lives. ‘Teen sex’ as far as I can see it is just a hook for people who want to see young, developed women. AFAIK, no one’s out patrolling the internet stopping people from photographing 25-year-olds and calling them teens.
I really think that nothing makes the difference between the desire for a girl above 18 and below that age. The only thing that makes it is the legal age aproved by law. In consequence, people who enjoys 18 or up teen’s flesh wouldn’t tell the difference if they mistake a young girl for a legal adult (just remember the Traci Lords case).
I like teens (as almost any man), but only like. I prefer dating slightly older women, not for her bodies but for her maturity (a beautiful body is a good plus if they have it); but if I want to fulfill my fantasies and I really don’t want to break the law, then I’ll avoid girls under 18. I’m not going pretending that if two weeks ago the girl was underage and now is 18, then I’m not a child molester anymore. If I’m not, I’m not, no matter if the girl is 18 years and 1 month old, or younger or older.
Then, I’d prefer a girl is 18 (or up) who is more mature rather than a 25 girl who acts like a child (in fact, I recently dated a 32 whose reactions are as if she was 13). So, what I finally would be looking is the legal youngest possible girl with the more mature acting. Girls from 25 to 30 met this standards often (please read carefully this paragraph before reacting).
Young flesh has always been in the fantasies of older men. Many movies and novels frequently depict this reality. For me, there are many people who condemn extreme cases and overreacts before them, and that people is the most dangerous.
“Teen sex” is one of those internet porn catchphrases that’s basically synonymous with “barely legal” and other such word combinations. I think this is done mostly to imply that the woman or people involved look young, which yes, is important for many porn-seekers. Their actual age is irrelevant, if they look decent at all they are often passed off as teens. The ones who can’t be most of the time look quite old indeed. They have their own keywords, such as “milf” (usually late twenties to early forties) and “mature” (older than 45 or 50). It all has to be categorized, you see, so that one knows what to search for or which links you want to click on.
Sorry, I think in my recent post missed the OP, but I meant that. As long as I don’t want to break the law, I don’t care who in the depths of the internet are breaking it or hooking porn-adicts with phrases like “teen sex”. I see that combination of words so often, that now they really have turned invisible for me.
I thought it was common knowledge that sexual intercourse with a virginal female is a common turn-on for heterosexual men? I mean, the only reason IMO that “teen sex” is popular is because it feeds the guy fantasy of being the girl’s first-time experience. I’m sure some armchair anthropologist can toss out the whys and wherefores of this.
maybe the problem is that a website like fark isn’t for old fokes… a majority of the content is for 13-23 year olds… where looking at teens is sorta… not much of a fetish as much as “this is who its expected I would be dateing”
I mean not everyone on there is young, but enough so that maybe some of the links aren’t really for people your age.
Barely legal weirds me out but it didn’t when I was 17-19 myself. Then again, that was 10-15 years ago and at that time “teen” seemed to mean a younger woman who is completely developed but has smooth skin and clear eyes and could pass for under 20. Now it just seems to mean under 25 with pigtails. Which actually is creepy because teenagers don’t wear pigtails (unless they are in porn.)
Maybe my preamble, as it were, wasn’t very articulate, so let me add this:
What disturbs, bothers, disappoints me is that FARK.com is supposed to make merry of the human condition. It’s about comedic moments of the human species. As such, I don’t see a lot to laugh about when the “teen” association is made. True, I understand that porn isn’t exactly a punchline to a joke but, good Lord, why must teens be drawn into the fray?
Not that it’s here or there, but anything more than what Playboy showed in the late 60s is too much for me. I don’t surf for porn and what has flashed on my screen from errant e-mails is waaay too much. FTR, I’m in my late 30s. Alas, the porn world has passed me by.
