I work with youth in foster care. A lot of them are commercially sexually exploited, meaning coerced or forced into the sex industry as minors. And SO MANY of the youth tell stories about police officers promising not to arrest the youth if they have sex with them and then arresting the youth anyway after the youth have had sex with them. THEY ARE MINORS. Cops are gross and abusive.
Isnât having sex with someone under false pretenses classified as rape by fraud? Like there was a minor scandal in California a couple years ago about a rapist who got off rape by fraud charges (he was still convicted of rape for having sex with her while she was asleep) because he impersonated her boyfriend and the law only applied if heâd impersonated her husband, which pissed off the legislature so much that they passed a bill unanimously to close that loophole.
 I can see no reason for a police officer to sleep with a sex worker to help them in their investigation. Theyâre doing it for the same reason rapists do it: because they can.
For a growing number of American kids, porn is their sex ed. Now Pornhub is hoping to offer their audience some more formal lessons in how to be a healthy and happy sexual being.
On Wednesday, the massive adult entertainment destination took the somewhat surprising step of launching the âPornhub Sexual Health Center.â Theyâre hoping the free sub-site will become a go-to resource for some of their 70 million daily users on all manner of topics, including STIs, sexual safety and how to manage relationships.
Theyâve chosen Dr. Laurie Betito, a renowned sex therapist, to direct the site and theyâll also be working with a number of doctors, therapists and other experts to offer advice and answer questions. Corey Price, Pornhubâs Vice President, told Mashable, âOur goal is to provide our visitors with a site that has credible and insightful information, rather than have them scouring the internet.â
While itâs a database theyâll build up over time, a first look reveals theyâve started with the fundamentals â with answers to things like âBabies. Where do they come from?â and âAre there really three holes?â These might seems almost laughably basic to adult consumers of hardcore porn, but there are a lot of young people for whom these are very real questions.
Price told Mashable they werenât aiming the content specifically at beginners. He said they simply want to appeal to âthose who are looking for trustworthy sex tips and health advice provided by experts.â But it seems like they realize this could prove to be an especially valuable resource for their younger audience, who most likely isnât getting comprehensive (much less sex-positive) sex ed in schools.
There are, of course, plenty of online sexual health and education resources, but for many kids, landing on sites like Pornhub is already their way into learning about sex. Porn can obviously teach you plenty about the basics and mechanics of intercourse, but thereâs a whole range of other things â biology, health, consent, relating to intimate partners, just to name a few â that you wonât pick up from watching videos like âBig tits round assesâ or âSloppy throat games.â
So if they can slide their curious audience over to the PSHC while theyâre already on the site, it could function as pretty useful one-stop shop for filling in the blanks left by spotty sex ed classes and the birds and bees talks given by often bewildered parents.
Holy shit their section on trans people was actually really good and not what I expected from something hosted by a porn site! If they had a containing various sexualities and whatnot as well, theyâll definitely have a good resource on their hands!
clingy and annoying doesnât bother me when itâs from the right person, i literally do not mind if my boyfriend sends me a picture of a car he likes at 3am even if Iâm not really into cars, his first thought was âi know imma send that to my girlfriendâ and yes i love that shit
