Elsewhere in the same paper:
>There has been a “significant” increase in cases of child-on-child online sexual abuse, [An Garda Síochána](https://www.irishtimes.com/tags/an-garda-siochana/) has warned the [Department of Justice](https://www.irishtimes.com/tags/department-of-justice/).
>It comes as concerns are growing within the Government about the influence that access to pornography is having on children in Ireland.
I’m curious to gauge what are people’s opinions on this. Is it as pervasive as is being reported here and are people worried about it? I’m long out of the dating scene and have no kids so don’t really know how much of an impact this readily available porn has had on young people.
Porn is evil but choking porn especially. I don’t know why almost every man I’ve been with thought it was ok to choke me without consent. There’s no safe way to do it without risking permanent brain damage!!!
Edit: The fact I’m being downvoted for this tells you everything you need to know. This generation is fucked
What three places should I click on to find it. (asking for a friend)
Feel its been mainstream for a good while at this stage. Like 2004 when i was in Uni this was semi popular with girls/guys
Ive often wondered about the degree to which this stuff has had an impact on female preferences as well. The vast majority of women I’ve been with in the past ~10 years have requested choking
I cant imagine what its like for young women entering the dating world nowadays, with this stuff increasingly normalised and young men largely getting their sexual education from incredibly violent pornography. I really have no idea where you begin to do something about this issue, proactive and holistic relationship education is desperately needed
Anything to avoid parents having honest conversations with their children about sex, consent and monitoring their online activity.
Oh, OK, wow
If Ireland wants to stop strangulation porn, the focus has to be on those producing and profiting from it. The State could make the depiction of strangulation in pornography illegal, on the basis that an act criminal offline should not be monetised online. Producers and platforms should face criminal liability, not just fines. Requiring medical oversight and documented informed consent would make such scenes difficult to produce safely or legally. Cutting off payment processors and advertisers would remove the financial incentive.
When I read things like this, I realise I’m actually a total innocent.
I still sometimes get giggly when my wife holds my hand. I could never imagine stangling her.
I’ve had men put a hand around my neck during sex without even asking. It’s unfortunately become a normal aspect of sex for some people. Also, I think I read that people who do this are more likely to be physically abusive in the future.
Going by the comments the bigger issue seems to be utter lack of seeking consent / discussing it and other boundaries prior to putting your hands around someone during sex.
I read something recently that said some tiny percentage of women over 45 have been choked during sex but some massively high percentage of women under 30 have been (sorry, I can’t remember the figures). As a 50 year old woman I have never been choked and I find this trend which must come from porn really disturbing (I’m not a prude, honest!)
It’s been a huge kink for a lot of women for years. Could have been influenced by porn which has been readily accessible for literally decades at this point, who knows? I dated extensively in my once upon a time single life and travels and it genuinely has been requested by women plenty of times. I do believe there should be consent discussions for sure, but this is being framed as purely a mens obsession.
I’ll get downvoted for saying this, but extreme porn needs to be banned.
Softcore stuff, OF stuff, is fine, whatever. But normalising choking and other forms of sexual violence needs to be banned.
Obviously no politician wants to advance this position because it’s not popular or not comfortable to discuss, but it’s causing real social harm. Young people growing up today have a completely warped view of what healthy sexual relationships entail as a result of their access to this extreme pornography, particularly when at a young inexperienced age.
It’s almost like proper sex education is needed in schools. I learned nothing in school that I hadn’t seen on the Internet first.
Because there’s barely any sex education taught in schools (from my experience). We were taught we’d probably get pregnant or get STIs so it’s best not to do anything lol. That didn’t deter us but it did make us look for the info we wanted elsewhere. Not the best sources.
