    Worldwide, bareback content is the most popular genre of gay porn watched in the United States.

    Maybe that’s why I can’t get anyone to wear a condom.

        Might I suggest that it is actually the typical standard condoms available out there that are the problem and not the concept of a condom itself? I have had similar experiences to you, but I decided to try getting a custom fit condom from ONE Condoms. Turns out the standard sizes were just too small and getting an appropriately sized condom improved the experience of using one significantly. I know this is sounding like an ad for ONE Condoms, but maybe it will get some folks to reconsider using protection.

            That sounds like a you problem. I say, in a sassy joking tone. But really, premature ejaculation can be a problem. However, it’s one you can work on with your sexual partner. Try pulling the nuts. It could help prolong.

            … that said, most of my fucking is done by random dudes I pick up and I dunno where those motherfuckers have been. So, there is a 0% chance I’ll accept any excuse not to bag it.

    The 18-24 age group shows a strong interest in the Cartoon category, with a massive 304% higher likelihood compared to other age groups.

        The anime fandom is extraordinarily sexual. It makes sense when you see that in general, anime is one of the most casually extremely objectifying/sexualizing/tokenizing things you can find… specifically towards women and queer people. Even yuri (lesbian) animes tend to be shounen (aimed at young men) and often are very fetishistic, and anything that resembles queerness is usually used in shounen animes specifically as fan service to their male audience.

        There are MANY animes that I guarantee you only exist for the purpose of porn (more specifically, designed to get popular from people making & spreading porn of them). Rampant and unavoidable horny fan service is a plague

              If it helps give context, Miku is more of a mascot for a text-to-voice project/software that can be used to program singing using her voice or other voices too. I think all the voices have mascots that they call vocaloids.

              The videos are probably promoting songs where her voice is used.

                  That’s true. I guess you have to kind of consider it in the context of the style? Anime leaves out a lot of detail in the face, and changes proportions around, so you have to have that cipher in your head that accounts for that, maybe?

          We humanize things that have traits we attach to. After all, many of us understand a dog is an animal and yet they are also often a part of our family in very human-like ways, including how we talk to them in complete sentences, and may even include them in conversation. So then it becomes less about physical attraction, which is certainly there for a lot of people and anime characters, it then becomes about an emotional bond. Absolutely none of this is a problem until it crosses that invisible threshold where that bond becomes more affection and eventually longing.

          Thankfully, most people stop at the bonding part where they enjoy a creator or a character and understand that is all it is: A Creation fundamentally distant from them.

            Sorry, I meant I didn’t really get the “anime character that promotes music on YouTube” part.

            As I said to someone else, I’m not going to kink shame her, I just want her to know that any girl she meets in the real world will not be like that anime character. And I think she understands that.

            Honestly, getting her to meet people in the real world at all is a slog.

              Oh no I didn’t mean any sort of shaming. Only that this digital world creates new stressors and puzzles for both parent and child. A kid just hitting 15 has essentially grown up in a world where digital and anime characters influenced them. Many kids may attach some emotional prerequisite to those characters and unintentionally judge others based on that perspective. Moreover, hanging out in person after The Lost Years (Covid) is almost secondary to the ease of things like Snapchat and other obligations such as school bring.

              I don’t envy any parent trying to work through this.

                I guess, but I know a lot of kids in the 80s who considered this character a big part of their sexual awakening…

                (I think it was the leg warmers)

                Also, this character for slightly younger kids:

        Well you don’t know me so that still applies, but I like anime though I’m picky about it and don’t like hentai. Actually one of my nitpicks is “I don’t like anime that is too horny, usually.” I do like Golden Boy but that’s different lol, same for FLCL. I can also do the occasional horn, like Dragon Ball/DBZ, or like Faye Valentine in Bebop, but those harem animes or ones that rely solely on fan service just aren’t for me.
