Why do some people lecture me on the risks and consequences of it when it’s already normalized on tik tok? It doesn’t make any sense! I need to have fun in my life!!

Social media tends to amplify trends, humor, and shock value content. Short-form videos also strip away context, so things like “sneaky link tips” can come across as casual entertainment rather than real-life decisions with emotional and physical consequences.

So what’s really happening is a clash between two things:

Social media normalizing and simplifying behavior for views and relatability

Real-world experiences where intimacy can be more complicated and emotionally loaded.

Ultimately, whether something is “normal” online doesn’t automatically mean it’s healthy or right for everyone in real life. It comes down to personal values, boundaries, and how well someone understands the potential consequences before choosing it.

I guess it depends on where you live. Some regions are more inclined to sexual violence against women than others

[Asker]

How?

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

The more conservative a place is in terms of politics and moral values, the higher the rate of sexual violence against women.

It does have longer term effects. 50% of women divorce at 8 years which appears to be the time it takes to have two children and get both into elementary school. A factor appears to be wanting to have their last hurrah while they still can.

Men are becoming more unwilling to marry due to the divorce rate. Intrinsically men are suspicious of girls that have had a lot of casual sex for long term relationships. Women leaving it to their 30's to have babies have run the clock a bit short as they may find willing men are thin on the ground at that age. Plus of course with casual sex normalized there is not the motivation for men to marry.

There are a lot of consequences

Thanks for a mho.

you can't "normalize" a thing that is already normal.

[Asker]

It is normal and if they say it’s not normal they are lying!

[genericname85]

exactly. i mean at least in adults.

I feel like it's been getting normalized since the early 90's. Really started getting pushed hard along with a very particular type of music. Nothing slowed it down... and now you have whatever you're seeing on tik tok.

[LazerBean]

It's normalized everywhere, and has been for a long time.

[Asker]

Yeah and it’s very normal! Why do people lecture me on the risks then if it’s so normal?

[Calyptomaniac]

It's normalized a ton of places by people who consider it normal. If you don't think it's normal, just ignore it...

Is it? Its been normal for over 20 years. You ever watch sex and the City. There were 94 episodes of sex and the City made and each woman had at least 90 different guys.

sounds like religious people tell you it is a sin. wait until wedding.

[jahaims]

Poor societal and cultural values. It makes the population easier to control

[Pohjolan]

Its already pretty normal. Just don't presume that you can keep your cake and eat it too.

[Jen_oic]

I don’t think it’s normal

[Asker]

Why don’t you think it’s normal?

[Jen_oic]

Because the actual reason for sex is to have children

[Caurav1997]
