I know it's psych today but
"may"
*"For both men and women, taking into account prior psychological disorders, the odds of developing substance dependence increased virtually linearly with the number of sex partners"*
I don't care about what "may" be the case for people in general, if there's an individual who likes having multiple sex partners (assuming they're being responsible) then I don't care and we shouldn't judge them for it
It's "may" because this is just one study
"The majority of studies citing a relationship between mental health problems, including substance and alcohol use, and one's number of sex partners are correlational in nature."
I mean it may be that people with addictive personalities like to have sex more
This isn't an argument for why we should judge people for their professional decision regardless
No, it's an argument for why these things are bad for the individual
So should we look down on brewers because brewing beer "may" be bad for them?
I'm not saying look down on them, simply dissuaded, besides, alcohol is a double-edged sword
So how do we denormalize people without looking down on people or judging them badly?
Explaining the risks/consequences
That's not denormalizing, that's informing
Frankly you should do that with literally every line of work
Maybe we're using that term differently then, but when I was young everyone acted like me joining the military would be a death sentence
Frankly unjustifiably, but I got the sense that being in the military wasn't a normal line of work
OK, well I think over 1% of American males are in the military so it's statistically pretty normal at least. Do you think them making it feel abnormal was good for you?
No, but that's the thing; soldiers are glorified, and being one for some is something to aspire to; does anyone aspire to be a porn star?
What I'm meaning by normalization is like, you have a kindergarten teacher asking kids what they want to be , and one of them says sex worker
Well at that point I don't think the kid should know what that is. But if they said "actor" I'm not sure it's too different
Like really what is a porn star if not just an actor that gets naked and does lewd things?
True, but regular actors don't risk their psyche
Are you sure about that?
Yes
OK, well I disagree. I think psychological issues amongst actors is, at least anecdotally, pretty well documented
Certainly for child actors, I have no idea about adults
For the sake of argument if it's found out being an actor can be psychologically harmful, would you say that should be denormalized as well?
Yes, or at least discouraged
Physical labor at least has the benefit of affecting you later in life, injuries on the job notwithstanding, but you can deal with injuries, mental health is a whole other animal
aight, fair enough
its probably all the child rape making them crazy
ffs
not this shit again
It's gonna bring BKP back.
