>>20591> when do you believe that society became more accepting of sexual acts that have noreproductive value?1. Again, ultimately this is not about me. I'm not trying to set myself up as any sort of expert. Drawing attention to the words of others is mostly what I'm aiming to do here, along with writing accurate summaries backed up by the words of (ideally many) others. I try to favor sources in this order: peer-reviewed studies, then domain-specific (usually medical) books, then news articles and web sites. I'm trying to move away from web references entirely in the long run.
2. This isn't about erotic acts with no reproductive value in general. Rather, I'm focusing specifically on anorectal eroticism and most especially violent / objectively foolish anoreceptive activities with potential for 1) significant injury to any receptive person involved, along with 2) serious/chronic/permanent and even life-threatening consequences arising subsequent to that completely avoidable trauma.
Anyway, I recommend reading the studies and news articles present in the compilation, particularly those that are part of Trends & Associations (T&A). At the bottom of this post is an article which was included in past compilations that is relevant as well.
> To add, the word "sex" has become a more ambigous term, referring to sexual acts or behaviors, i.e. anal sex, oral sex, non-penatrative sex, etc.Yes it has. I favor the term "erotic" for activities that are not strictly sexual (i.e., for the purpose of procreation, or at least involving only genital body parts).
> Not denying what you are saying at all, I respect your dedication, but to what benefit and to who's benefit is it to display these activities as exciting?Please spend some time reading through at least some of those sources I have referenced (and even sources cited by them), particularly ones included in T&A. If you have questions after that, you know where to find me.
"'It really is shocking how many myths young people have about anal sex,' said Judy Kuriansky, a Columbia University professor and author of 'Sexuality Education: Past Present and Future.'"
... "[Megan Carpentier, who writes about politics and women for Jezebel.com] said the dismantling of comprehensive sex education programs in the public schools is to blame for teen ignorance about the hazards of anal sex. And it is unrealistic to expect doctors to talk to teens about this touchy topic."
... "Anal sex statistics indicate that a generational change has occurred, where people born in the 1980s and later may be more comfortable admitting to or showing interest in anal sex. [Sexuality educator Cory] Silverberg attributes interest in the behavior among heterosexuals, in part, to the proliferation of pornography in the 1990s."
