2023's second sex toy prohibition law was just introduced, this time in Kentucky. Let's remind sponsor @sdietz2 that such laws aren't evidence-based or supported by experts, and could hamper prevention research. https://openstates.org/ky/bills/2023RS/HB182/

Adults who have had experiences of sexual abuse as children need and deserve a chance to speak about their experiences with those who understand and can help. If you or someone you love needs support to recover, now is the time to reach out for help.

Louisiana's new age-verification law is blatantly unconstitutional, but that hasn't stopped 4 other states from introducing copycat bills, and others from introducing unconstitutional bills of their own.

A short guide to the most aggressive censorship we've seen in decades:

Let’s be clear. What is being reported in this story is NOT sex work. Not even close. Sex work by definition occurs between two consenting adults. This is sexual exploitation of a child. Conflating the two only hurts consenting workers and survivors. Journalists, do better.

Our latest paper exploring the treatment targets identified by people who are sexually attracted to children is now out (and open-access) in the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy.

Our mission is to prevent abuse before a child is harmed. This means providing opportunities for people to find help so those who are concerned about engaging in online/offline sexual offending involving a child can live a non-offending life. #ChildSexualAbusePrevention

The angry people showing up with guns screaming "THIS IS DANGEROUS" are the ones making it dangerous

"The group’s core values are simply peer support so that people with a horribly stigmatized identity have a safe space to share good times and bad times – and an environment that doesn’t allow illegal behavior." https://buff.ly/3kVoAW9

Hope this helps.

"This article was written just over two years ago, but the truths in it are very relevant in today’s culture wars where the LGBTQ+ community is accused of “grooming,” and the harshest insult conservative moralists can think of is “pedophile.”" https://buff.ly/3kVoAW9

A buried lede in last week's @CommonSenseMedia report on young people's experience with adult content — less than a third of parents are using even basic filtering on devices or home internet. Would love to see how that breaks out demographically.

"As a kink, ageplay isn’t about hurting anyone; it’s about safe and fully consensual interactions with other adults." https://buff.ly/3kTLugo

"So, without further introduction, here are our top ten posts that are controversial but shouldn’t be – or, if you prefer, ten quick articles you can read to learn a little bit more about the prevention of child sexual abuse." https://buff.ly/3kVoAW9

How religious you are determines, whether or not you think you have a porn addiction regardless of actual porn consumption.

The fight against child abuse and the fight to protect human rights are fundamentally entwined because all children have a right to a life without abuse. This simple belief drives every aspect of our work. Learn more about who we are and what we do: https://buff.ly/31a7UKZ

"By scaling back our activities in other areas such as events, consulting, and advocacy, Prostasia was able to focus on its most distinctive contribution: the primary and secondary prevention of child sexual abuse" https://buff.ly/3GUDu6a
