Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content.

7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.

I'm not sure how that link is relevant to the question?

He assumed the kid was inexperienced but the average age of sexual initiation in US is 17. Lot's of boys are experienced at 16.

Just having selfish sex during your teenage years I wouldn't call experienced. You can say...sure I've had sex. Probably lasted 3-4 mins, no foreplay, back of the car. Sneaking around when your parents are sleeping. Yada yada.

So while sure. You can read a stat that says.. oh they do have sex....but will this satisfy the avg woman? Majority of grown men in the middle 20s can't satisfy women or ignore foreplay. Key areas it takes for a great sexual experience.

This is power and control. Not the desire for good sex. It's even more embarrassing that she bragged about it to her friend. What adult woman would be impressed about you taking a 16 year old home?

Creepy af.

Thank you, this was my thought as well. I'm a woman, and it took until my mid-20s (and having an experience with another woman) for me to truly learn what sex is all about. Now in my 30s, I'd say most people I date are "experienced" at sex.

A teenager messing around with another teenager has a tiny bit of "experience," but to think that's the same as the sexual experience as adult has is naive. Teenagers still think porn is accurate, whereas sexually experienced adults know what to actually do.

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 1 points 10 months ago

Exactly. She's 26 so asking "what adult woman wants an inexperienced 16 year old" is like asking "why isn't she only dating older guys". This kid might have similar experience to guys closer to her age. That being said it obviously wasn't about quality of sex.

Ummmmm no…. Having had sex does not make one “experienced”

There are still whole generations of both men and women who do not know what a clitoris is…..
