Funny Pic

I just noticed the print in the lower right corner. Evidently it's an ad for Tylenol.

You've never considered translucent blinds? They allow some light which is ideal for most of the day while also providing privacy. Also locking your bedroom door when you're fucking helps.

Nah, sunblock blinds all the way. It helps me sleep during the daytime and mornings. At night they also don't allow my cast shadow to be seen from the outside.

It's a roller shade, I'd say. Just this summer I installed one on my balcony. A great thing.

[Ryllharu]

It depends on the room. I suspect that particular room also has blackout shades that come down as well.

I use privacy blinds in my kitchen, because I like the light throughout the day, but would rather not have people looking in at all hours. Blackout shades for the bedrooms.

How did this turn into a discussion about blinds, and in the funny pic thread no less. How about that creepy ass wallpaper with the little girl who is getting scarred for life? Isn't that how chicks get into porn?

Would a child seeing people have sex really get scarred for life? They would probably just think it is wrestling of some sort, and if they actually did understand what was happening, seeing it won't shock them as much since they have knowledge about it.

My cousin made me watch a porn flick when I was 5 or 6 and I am not scarred for life. I still remember the title though.

I guess it depends on who is having sex. If that's her mom and dad, she might be upset that daddy is hurting mommy and harbor anger towards him and then all men. If that's her mom and some random guy, she might think he's hurting her, or she might come to equate sex with power and try to use sex to get what she wants from men.

You're a guy right? I imagine it's not as bad for little boys as it is for girls to see sex at a young age. Look at the expression on the little girl's face and tell me she's not disturbed by what she's seeing.

[shinta|hikari]

Isn't that an act or shopped?

[Animeniax]

Yes probably staged but the message it conveys remains... Children don't understand sex, they see hurting and it's probably not good for their mental health.

[shinta|hikari]

I just mentioned that because you said to look at the face of the child and see that she is disturbed, but the picture is fake. You can't use something fake as proof of anything, even if it might be true.

You have been listening too much to bible thumpers' propaganda.

The only reason sex is hidden behind closed doors is because most cultures treat it as something shameful for anything but private eyes. And that's because it was a method to ensure greater fidelity since ancient times. If it scars any kid, it would be only scarring their cultural adherence. Honestly, like Shinta said, very young kids these days are already encountering even HC porn due to our almighty friend, the internets. (Though that being said, nobody can deny Shinta is mentally scarred, no, ruined!)

I'm reading it as Animeniax only giving painful love.

It's only faked in so far as it is staged, but it's staged as a realistic enactment of a child's reaction to such a scene. The advertisers made an image that resonates (or upsets) with the majority of potential buyers, not one that would perplex or confuse them. Imagine if the little girl had a sly look on her face, like she's thinking, "yeah, fuck her daddy, fuck her good!" That would be fake because in most real world situations that would not happen.

You're not giving enough credence to "cultural adherence." Girls get stoned to death by their own brothers in the Muslim world because of mere cultural adherence. It is a powerful deterrent to all sorts of bad behavior that we follow the norms and mores of the society we live in.

A child seeing porn is one thing... watching your mommy and/or daddy having sex is a bit different.

[shinta|hikari]

There is no proof that the fake picture is any realistic depiction of a child's actual reaction. You are saying it is a realistic reaction, but do you have any proof?

Even if you did, that does not contradict my point that the fake pic cannot be considered as evidence to what you are trying to say. Using fake evidence to support anything is just absurd. Don't do that. It reduces the believability of your argument.

[Buffalobiian]

I thought the obvious reaction a <10 year old kid would have to seeing their parents' lovemaking would be a confused look of "Mommy, what are you doing?"

A sly look would tell you she knows exactly what they're doing.

A shocked look would suggest some BDSM.

[Animeniax]

You all are arguing symantecs. The fact that it's an advertisement for headache medicine with the tag line "there are some questions that are a headache" suggests it's an extremely awkward situation, including the explanation to the little girl that will need to follow. Parents struggle with talking to their kids about sex because it's not an easy thing to deal with. I guess you all come from more liberal families where it was no big deal to hear your parents fucking. Tell me, as kids were any of you aroused by the thought of your parents fucking?

[shinta|hikari]

Semantics, and no.

All I am saying is that you should not try to prove a point using fake evidence, even if the point is actually true AND even if the fake evidence actually does occur in reality. Whether children are affected by sex to what degree is debatable, but this point is black and white.

Your point that we should view this seriously hinges on the assumptions that this is both realistic and painful. Your last few posts pointed how this is fake but real.

It's just a joke, like many other advertisements.

Implying that you only see children either masturbating or screaming when they see sex which I don't agree to at all.

That's fine but by that logic we shouldn't believe anything as portrayed in media unless we can verify it with actual experience and visual proof. By that logic you believe you are immortal because you aren't dead yet.

It's a reenactment of a real situation. See my comment above to shinta.

Children have a pretty limited scope of emotions that coincide with their limited life experience and exposure to situations. However, I was being facetious about being aroused at the thought/sight of you seeing your parents boning, since you all seem so much more sexually uninhibited.

If by actual experience you mean anything proven scientifically then your analogy is fallacious. It has been proven that people die. It does not have to be personal experience, but it has been proven that humans die, and that we are humans, and the conclusion is obvious.

What you are saying is that children are traumatized by seeing sex (unproven unless you actually provide valid proof) by providing fake evidence.

In the end, all that is irrelevant. Please don't use fake evidence to argue your case, period.

EDIT: Just to be clear since it does not seem to be going through, I am not arguing about the effect of seeing sexual acts on children. I am simply saying that using fake evidence to argue a point is incorrect.
