Teenagers aren't stupid. They're playing around and masturbating. They know it's not real and they still want to touch each other.
Call me when sexbots are here.
It will be fine for most kids who try it and really harmful for a minority of them
Please also call me when the sexbots are here. I'd like to preorder if possible.
You sure? Even the president is stupid.
The president isn’t a teenager, and as a sociopath wouldn’t have been representative of teenagers even when he was one.
I would expect the teenage years to be where most people's sociopathy peaks before trailing off as they continue to mature emotionally.
Just because you know it's not real doesn't mean you can't become attached to it.
That's literally like half of marriages.
