i genuinely don't think public masturbation is a big deal - even if kids see it. i genuinely think we expend way too much effort attempting to 'shield' kids from sex unnecessarily. i genuinely don't believe kids will be scarred if they see a guy manipulating his penis for his own pleasure. i genuinely believe we attempt to keep kids from sex b/c we think sex is dirty and we want kids to exist as some repository of 'innocence' for OUR benefit more than for theirs. i genuinely think kids have no reason to make a big deal of sex unless WE give them reasons by panicking about it.
