Or less common opinions that you’ve been waiting for a chance to share?

Apologies if this has been asked before; I didn’t see it among recent posts and I like to hear everyone’s hot takes.

    Let’s see here. Hard to gauge popularity on this kind of thing, but I’ve run into anything from steady disagreement to outright abuse for some.

    Prostitution should be legal, and well regulated for the protection of sex workers.

    The age of consent isn’t, or shouldn’t be, about the empty idea of protecting kids, it’s supposed to be about picking an age where the individual should have the freedom to exercise their right to body autonomy, no matter who they choose to exercise it with.

    Most kink is boring as hell, and too much attention gets paid to it outside of those that enjoy any given kink.

    Any person should have the freedom to give up consent ahead of time, though it would have to be regulated and require documentation to prevent misuse of that freedom by assholes.

    Anal is over rated, and even with prep isn’t worth the extra mess and hassle.

    Most people wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between a given hole in the dark unless there’s a mustache involved. A mouth is a mouth, an ass is an ass. If you don’t know there’s a man or a woman behind the hole, you would perform just fine.

    I really don’t care where you stick your dick, or what dick you take; if there’s no physical injury involved, you can fuck your dog and it’s none of anyone else’s business. Only reason it matters beyond that is if the dog gets in the habit of trying to fuck other people. Same with any other animal; just because it’s gross doesn’t make it my business.

    Power imbalances only matter if they’re abused. No need to poke our collective noses into things until that happens.

    IDGAF how big of an age gap there is, once both parties have reached the arbitrary age of consent, it’s none of my business, or anyone else’s. It isn’t automatically bad either.

    Also, as an adjoining thing to unpopular sex opinions, even really weird opinions aren’t automatically bad or a sign of something wrong. Sometimes people just don’t agree with the majority. Other times, the majority is wrong. If you can’t point directly to an automatic form of harm regarding whatever that opinion is, chances are that you’re reacting to the social mores you’ve absorbed rather than having formed your opinion with thought and care.

    Edit: one last one!

    Your body count doesn’t say anything about you other than that you’ve fucked a lot. Pussies don’t get worn out from use, neither do dicks. Get tested, use condoms, and stop being a judgy asshole.

    Edit 2: my brain is catching up

    You don’t have to be enthusiastic about sex. It’s okay to just consent to make the other person happy, as long as it isn’t being pressured into agreeing. Even then, it’s okay for the person that’s agreeing, it’s the one applying pressure that’s a jerk

      A dog is a conscious animal and cannot give informed consent. Purely in a mental capacity standing, a dog is about as intelligent as a toddler and a toddler also cannot give consent because, you know it’s a toddler. Sex with an animal is, by definition, rape and should be seen as such.

        Yeah, I’m not playing debate club here. That’s not what this thread was about. You’re welcome to your opinion, and if it was somewhere else, I might discuss it further. But it isn’t, so I’m not

      Appreciate you posting opinions that are actually controversial. I agree with the majority of them, particularly the ones that boil down to “it’s no one’s business what consenting adults do in their private lives”.

      What criteria, in your opinion, have to be met for an individual to be given the freedom to exercise bodily autonomy?

      Even if an individual says they consent, even if they show enthusiasm, there is a point where their consent is not seen as valid neither morally nor legally. Whether that point is defined by age or intellectual capacity, why shouldn’t it extend to animals as well?

        On consent:

        I’ve seen way too many people making consent a very complicated matter (and since a while ago, in some countries, its even law), some going as far as wanting it in written for .

        I think it’s more important to SAY no than it is to say yes.

        I think we need to teach guys that it’s important to get consent, but also how to recognize it, as not all consent is verbal, it’s not how human beings work and yes, that means women too.

        In a similar fashion, it’s important to teach women to be clear about consent, that they know it’s okay to say no, but also that it’s important to SAY no if and when they’re uncomfortable and want out. Sometimes you just want quiet quick banging, no words, and definitely no review of what is okay in the next five minutes

        Written, or sometimes even verbal consent simply isn’t feasible in real life. Say no!

        Honestly, my line in reality is different from a hypothetical one.

        In a perfect world, the point when someone is ready internally should be enough. The problem is that it isn’t a perfect world, so you run into someone making choices that can cause other people problems.

        So I draw the line where the person could potentially function as a parent on a physical level. Somewhere in the late teens. Like, at 14, not only is childbirth physically risky, but neither genetic contributor is going to realistically be able to handle everything that goes with taking care of an infant.

        Condoms exist, so that does mitigate things, but I have only rarely known early teens with the reliability to always use protection. I sure as hell wasn’t reliable back then in that regard, which means my partners weren’t either.

        So, I tend to favor 16 as the bare minimum. Before then, the possibility of a new human suffering from bad decisions is just too high. If it weren’t for the increased risks around pregnancy and the impact to the offspring, I wouldn’t have a cutoff hypothetically. I’m big on body autonomy.

      All holes are not equal. Anal is just one smooth tube & doesn’t stimulate my equipment much so I don’t see the point in bothering. The front has more… texture.

        You know, I misunderstood what you were saying, and wrote up a response based on that.

        But, yeah, I’m with you on that :)

        For me it isn’t only the stimulation. It’s okay in that regard. Better than my own hand at least. But all the prep and lube and cleanup just isn’t worth the meh level of stimulation.
