but if you do the math with the weight and size of a horse compared to the size of its thing, being hung like a horse just means you are below average. A horse weighs average 1000 lbs with a 20" thing. Average man is 200 Lbs. He needs only a 4" thing to be hung like a horse.

was discussing this with Oye, i think one of the struggles for us 'boomers' is that we we don't conceive of 'cyber' the way kids do - it's not a real place to us. i think we consider it a fancy version of when we talked on the phone late at night for hours at a time
i think the 'virtual' landscape is a real place for kids - like an actual reality. maybe even more important that irl for some

.........The phone had become a compulsion lately, his mother said. He spent hours a day on Snapchat sending messages and photos to friends. His social life was wrapped up in the app.

“He lives in his phone,” L. said.

Before the pandemic, L. and her new husband set rules that the phones would be closed in a drawer during evenings, but they fell out of the practice when the world moved online during the pandemic. As D. grew older, it became harder to police his use.

“It’s easy when they’re under 12. You just tell them ‘no.’ But when they get to be 15 or 16, you realize that every kid they know at school is on Snapchat and how much they’re left out if they’re not and how many plans are made, it becomes literally a piece of who they are,” L. said. “And if you take it away from them or don’t allow them to have that, they genuinely miss out on a lot. I don’t agree with it, but that’s how these apps are made. They’re made to pull them in.”

For parents struggling to find that balance, Mulder recommends keeping lines of communication as open as possible with children, talking to them often about their digital life while giving them opportunities to explore and grow...........

We’ve been preaching this to our kids for the last 7-10 years. Once it’s out there, it’s out there, and trust is a fickle thing. You might think you have this great relationship with someone and choose to send them a compromising photo, but if you all fall out, what’s to stop them from spreading your business around? It’s not worth it.

I knew about the revenge porn aspect and thought that what all these were

I knew about the long game romance scams

I didn't realize these teen sexting blackmail scams were happening too

Sadly, thinking about it, it seems like it was an inevitable next progression. And will only get worse

I am a high school teacher and know it’s easy to find boys who will do this. Things to keep in mind:

1) Teens have many many relationships with people that they only know on line.

2) So, they will not listen to you while you tell them they “don’t know” someone on line

The solution:

Teen boys don’t understand that girls are wired differently. That they are excited by a cute face, yes, but mostly by power, skill, and competence. A real girl will ask for pictures of your cute face, but will really want to see pictures of you in context - in your sports uniform for example. Or at work (if you have a cool job). Or your muscles. Or looking sappy and in love with them.

High school girls are NOT turned on by genitalia. Most adult women are not either - hence the failure of Playgirl magazine. Literally, girls are not the slightest bit interested in your genitalia. If they were, boys would walk around in codpieces like girls walk around in sport bras. Make them understand this starting in middle school. Girls care about skills, not boy bits.

They can decide this is fair or not. But maybe they will then wonder about that girl who wants a shot of their private parts. If you can’t convince them this is not a girl, you may be able to convince them that she’s acting weird.

The person behind the account asked to see a photo of him naked, and specifically requested he include his face.

He was 17 and horny....it is what it is.....but this literally reads to me as "make sure your face is showing.....because I sure don't want you possibly having any of that plausible deniability stuff!"

I can’t help but feel like this is when adults would preach celibacy instead of safe sex. And, unfortunately, probably equally effective.

Maybe
But I don’t know what safe sexting would look like

…
Actually- I wonder if it’s sending a pic and a code and the pic only last an __ amount of time and can’t be copied or resent

I will not stand for this cod piece erasure
 
CNN) — About two weeks after his oldest son’s funeral, South Carolina state house Rep. Brandon Guffey says he received a private Instagram message with a laughing emoji.

Gavin Guffey, 17, had fatally shot himself in a bathroom in July 2022, and the grieving father was searching for clues on what led to his suicide.

Then Guffey and his younger son began to get messages demanding money in exchange for nude photos of his late son. Anyone on Gavin’s Instagram followers list who had the last name Guffey got similar messages, his father says.

The family began piecing together Gavin’s last moments and discovered he had encountered a scammer on Instagram and unwittingly became a victim of sexual extortion, a crime the FBI warns is increasingly targeting underage boys and leading to an alarming increase in suicides nationwide.

Now Guffey is suing Instagram’s parent company, Meta, for wrongful death, gross negligence and other claims, saying it does not do enough to protect children like Gavin from online predators.

The lawsuit, filed in South Carolina state court last week, accuses Meta’s social media platforms of causing a range of problems in children, including depression, low self-esteem, anxiety and eating disorders. It alleges that Meta uses algorithms to aggressively target adolescents and does not do enough to keep them safe from harm……
