maybe just telling kids that bodies and people aren't pieces of meat Whisp May 2013 #53

I agree. 5 -13 year olds viewing BDSM porn will only promote healthy geek tragedy May 2013 #26

It's pointless. Those that give a shit know. Others have their heads firmly planted in the sand redqueen May 2013 #28

I just asked for objective evidence of harm. Warren Stupidity May 2013 #34
