I have mean that's bad that teens have been arrested on « child pornography » charges for consensual sexting. Like getting in trouble because we are horny and sexted between each other is really stupid !

I understood that you were referring to that in particular, and I totally agree with you... it is ludicrous that teens are getting arrested for consensual sexting, and getting sentenced for "child pornography" for taking pictures of themselves. The thing is, in your response, you only referred to sexting, and not to my other, similarly absurd examples of ridiculous laws. I understand that it's the only example that might apply to you, but you should look further if you want to understand the scope of the moral panic.By the way, in the US (the UK is more insane), authorities usually justify arrests for sexting because a significant minority of cases involve an adult, and an even smaller minority involve truly problematic circumstances like blackmail and bullying. The idea is that sexting is allegedly so risky that any teen found engaging in it should be subjected to a proper investigation to make sure nothing "bad" is going on. What is your opinion of that?
The ideals of the sexual revolution were thwarted by a strange coalition of sex-negative feminists and religious traditionalists. They latched onto the notion of "child protection" to stop—and even reverse—the societal changes that were on their way in the 1960s and 1970s, a time when intellectuals in France famously called for the lowering or abolition of the age of consent in several petitions.Doxinator14 wrote: Mon Apr 14, 2025 5:51 pm The society is too stuck up on a lot of stuff...

Nevertheless, there's still hope: as I've pointed out elsewhere, social change is not necessarily linear. But we need people to speak out, and not just MAPs considering the stigma we face. This is why it's important that we get support from AAMs (and others) that can argue for sexual liberation from a youth rights perspective.
