one of the weirdest things young people presumed to be girls are taught about boys is that boys dont experience love or emotional attachment connected to sex? that all boys are just like trying to "get some" and don't have emotional needs or vulnerability attached to that.

In my experience young boys are often incredibly emotionally sensitive and can take the decision to have sex just as seriously as girls do. The fact that the consent and care-taking of boys wrt sex often isnt specifically addressed when talking to young people about sex can ...

lead to a lot of harm. I definitely had male friends of mine in highschool pressured into sexual interactions they werent ready for because I feel like culturally the consent of boys is often assumed as a default, and that's pretty dangerous tbh.

obviously none of this meant to insinuate that boys suffer as much sexual harm as girls, but I just the idea that boys dont have the same emotional needs around sex is also a part of rape culture that needs to be addressed.
