Did your parents have sex around you as a child?

And if so, what (if any) effect has it had on you?

Is it weird/confusing/traumatic for children, or does it provide a healthier and more realistic model of sexuality than pornography and school-based sex education?

Fucking in front of a child and people talking about their mutilated penis with other adults are not at all comparable. What a wild false equivalence to make.

I also made no assertions that the OP was asking for permission to be a paedophile. I do however think it's not an unreasonable assumption to make that a paedophile may want to read stories of parents sexually abusing their children.

We are not talking about fucking in front of children, we are talking about the lived experience of people who that has happened to and how it affected them. That means you are the one drawing false equivalence (you are equating fucking in front of kids with talking about the impact it had on the person). These are life experiences and can be talked about without the need for any thought-policing by you.

I also made no assertions that the OP was asking for permission to be a paedophile.

Is that so...

just asking this question seems noncey

This you?

[–] Astigma@feddit.uk -1 points 8 hours ago

Warning someone that the question they have asked comes across as noncey is not the same as calling them a nonce. Again with the false equivalences.

Maybe I could have worded it better, how about:

"Hey OP, just a heads up, while you yourself may not be a paedo some people may enjoy this thread less for the thought provoking cultural exchanges and more so for the enjoyment of reading about child abuse."

How's that?

I do however think it’s not an unreasonable assumption to make that a paedophile may want to read stories of parents sexually abusing their children.

Really, that's where you mind went from reading OPs question? I think that says more about you than OP.

[–] Astigma@feddit.uk 0 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

So you honestly think a thread about child abuse won't have paedos rubbing their hands with glee?

[–] remon@ani.social 4 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

This wasn't really a thread about child abuse until you showed up.

[–] Astigma@feddit.uk 0 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Performing a sexual act in front of a child is child abuse. Don't be obtuse.

[–] remon@ani.social 0 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Right, exept OP said "around", like in the same house for example. It was you that changed it to "in front". Those are very different implications.

[–] Astigma@feddit.uk 1 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

That is how you chose to interpret it. They also go on to talk about pornography and sex education which implies some amount of awareness from the child, no?

I don't know what point you're trying to make or why you're defending some perceived slight I made towards the OP when I didn't even call them a nonce. Their own reply to me was amicable. Seems like you're just being defensive for the sake of it?

[–] remon@ani.social -1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Dunno, you just came across as a little bit noncey.

[–] Astigma@feddit.uk 1 points 7 hours ago

If I have I certainly didn't intend to.
