Teen Vogue article

[NoLoveofMine]

Someone has "Tweeted" defending "that" Teen Vogue article. I don't really know the point of me starting this thread - just wanted somewhere to vent. She has done it in response to people criticising it and said that teenagers would have anal sex regardless and that the article could be educational.

I'm quite upset.

So so true and utterly demoralising and depressing. I've seen it throughout my career - became more obvious the older I got.... but also see it everywhere outside work - how friends interact with their husbands and children, the mums at school. Brainwashing. The article that someone posted earlier (Datun I think - and thank you very much for doing so) says it very well - I'll repost the link

What a pile of tosh- both the Guardian article and Teen Vogue.

"Poloitical" now means nothing more than "Ooh I can say rude things about Trump and all those ignorant people who voted for him" whilst having no real idea or understanding of why people voted for him. But - hey are so "woke".

US titles Cosmo girl and seventeen have readers averaging mid twenties too, so I think maybe teens wouldn't buy them anyway. I'm sure my sister was about 14 when she read Just 17, 'though it did have very different content.

Anal sex has to be way down the list of things to try when you don't have much sexual experience. Teen Vogue has 'how to masturbate if you have a penis' but I scrolled as far as I could and couldn't find anything comparable for women.

The fashion and beauty section is heavily skewed in favour of young women, leading me to believe this is their target audience. Yet the sexual health and identity section barely covers them at all, and I couldn't see anything that actually had fulfilling sex for women as a topic - abortion, periods, assault, yes, but nothing that actually tackles female sexually.

but nothing that actually tackles female sexually.

Because it's not important. Because, astonishingly, having an orgasm may not, just may not, have to involve a penis. Because I need a roadmap and flashlight to find a woman's clitoris. Because you can't just rub it up and down for five minutes like a normal sexual organ.

And anyway, what's in it for me, amirite?

When you click on "Gigi's" name you get anociturenofnher in her bras. There's also a link to "how to masterbate if you've got a penis" is Gigi a woman or the bepenised sort?

Alsonis teen vogue for boys now? Or do girls need to learn how they should wank to better help there too?

The sort of furtive sex that most teenagers are engaging in is not conducive to anal. I can't think of anything more horrifying that a 14-16 year old girl having to learn to take it in the ass from a horny teen boy. That's going to be enjoyable for one person and a recipe for internal injury for the other.

I'd like an article that says:

"This isn't as common as porn would let you believe and completely ill advised for a young woman discovering her sexuality and really unlikely at this point to give you any kind of orgasm, so what's the point?"
