    Nope! That's just Google's AI overview, though even it says most information is anecdotal since every state has different means of reporting. I was surprised it said Florida actually, I was actually trying to find the report that I saw a few years ago that Tennessee had the highest incest rate but that may have been an incest porn statistic. It seems the data is all over the place year to year, yet Alaska consistently seems to be a contender.

    The internet often represents a place for vulnerable and abused people to find a safe space from a very inhospitable world. Often they will seemingly over react to innocuous things because of a heightened sensitivity after experiencing trauma.

    Get enough of them and it becomes cultural and that spill over and encounter with people who haven't experienced trauma can feel obnoxious and annoying.

    Nobody has a right to tell them they're wrong for feeling that way, but at the same time... their reactions aren't necessarily accurate or "right" and thus the conflict.

    Fucking mouthbreathers on autopilot man. I would have felt like this was such an insane violation of my privacy if this was me as a kid. But no, you don't deserve to choose your boundaries any more. Your life will be filmed without your consent and made public without your consent so that doomscrollers can have a disposable hit of dopamine.

    People will unironically be like 'haha I'm so glad cameras weren't everywhere when I was growing up' and turn around and defend posts like this without a second thought.

    parent
    26 points honest_sparrow

    The same thing happens with women, I suspect it's probably universal across everyone who has a "standard" sexuality (I'm not so sure about asexual or folks with hormone issues who don't hit puberty, etc).

    I remember being with my neighborhood friend, just one of the other kids who ran around in a big pack all summer, playing games and getting into mischief. I was maybe 10? We had been bouncing and flipping on a trampoline, and now we were lying down on it, out of breath and giggling. For some reason, he reached out and stroked my leg and smiled at me, it was for some innocent gesture, I think he was brushing dirt off, but something awakened in me. Something stirred in my mind, in my stomach, and somewhere below my belt. It was like the light shifted, sunlight all of a sudden making his blonde hair shimmer, his skin tanned from the summer glowing golden, and I suddenly now longer saw Brad, my friend with the golden retriever who could throw a Frisbee farther than anyone else, but Brad the boy, and I was a girl, and I wanted him to smile at only me, and touch my leg again, and touch me all over, and do things I didn't even fully understand at that age. I feel like it was the moment I hit puberty lol.

    It was very confusing, and you're right, you know things will never be the same again!

    How did you deal with that immediately after and much later? At the time what did you think was that?

    parent root
    10 points honest_sparrow

    At the time I had no idea what it was. We hadn't started sex ed in school, all I really knew was from watching my peers interact, I had no words or understanding for the emotions and physical sensations that washed over me.

    How I dealt with it was probably got super red in the face, stammered something about how my mom needed me home, and fled. And then every time I thought I was possibly going to run into Brad again, I wore my coolest Kerropi the frog earrings, ball choker necklace, and clean Umbro shorts 🤣🤣🤣 It was the 90s! He never looked at me the way I hoped he would look at me, and his family moved away a couple years later. By then I had transferred my onsessional crushes to the dark-haired French exchange student who lived down the street, and I creepily stalked the coat racks outside afterschool PE at the gym for his Oakland Raiders starter jacket, and if I saw it hanging on a hook I'd go "play dodgeball" while stealing glances at him with absolutely no subtlety.

    My.second awakening came when we played "pirates and captives" on the playground in middle school and I got tied up when captured by the pirates and was like "OH! Oh thiiiis is something visceral for me." I started figuring out my love of BDSM at a very early age, although again I had no words for it. I actually journaled out a lot the feelings in like r-rated entries in the diary logs in Oregon Trail II, writing pre-teen smut in a place my parents would never find it. 🤣🤣🤣

    I was a socially awkward kid, never really started seriously dating until after college. But I have found my true love now, together for 10 years, married and all that jazz. And we do all sorts of filthy fun things with an entire bureau filled with toys and clamps and shackles. But it all started with that leg stroke and smile..
