Thread:User talk:Armondikov/Maggie Mayhem's article about teen sex/reply (2)

I think it's generally accepted that banning things invites people to do it, probably because you're simply bringing it to people's attention - there are practically an infinite number of things that are bad for you, specifically banning something is akin to the privileging the hypothesis fallacy. But you're also provoking natural curiosity, because a lot of these things are banned "just because", and that's why education works better than outlawing things.

Generally I don't think you can be a prude with most of the sex-positive bloggers. If they're not hookers they're porn stars! (okay, that's just hyperbole for the sake of a joke, rather than a serious statement in case you're concerned :p )
