Lol. I don't know if things like this still exist because I haven't watched TV in decades, but back then, late at night, there were some sex focused shows that covered kink and stuff in an... Almost documentary kind of way? It would just follow people in the culture and ask them what it's all about and what kind of stuff they did.
There were also radio shows where people would call in to talk sex. Honestly, those were really helpful to demystify things, as info wasn't as readily available.
I figure things like this are less edgy these days and people can just look on the internet for whatever tickles their fancy. It was kind of nice to get a more sanitized version of this stuff tho instead of just, you know, porn.
Yeah, the one I remember in particular was the pony play because it just seemed really expensive. They had custom made riding gear for humans (saddle, blinders, feedbag, etc)., would hang out in stables and get brushed, and their partner would ride them around the farm. Wild times
I want to believe this was a cool and interesting concept but I sense that the framing might be of the gawking variety. Still might have helped my stupid ass as a kid somewhat, instead of just going on /d/ or whatever the hell.
I guess there are several potential motivations behind and variant approaches to petplay though, now I think about it...
Yeah, you're half right about the gawking. I think, by it's nature, the people who funded the shows were like "let's film some freaks" and the people watching the shows were like "let's gawk at some freaks"
HOWEVER, I remember the shows themselves being pretty respectful to the subject matter.
See I hate that, the idea that some slimy fucker thought to bankroll... basically a cringetopia/kinkshaming type television program? Suspect. I suppose long before the 'net though, if the shows themselves were solid about it then they would have served pretty well.
Yeah, I mean, it was pretty dire. People older than me literally learned it from porn mags that they had to steal and hide. I imagine that was worse.
I got super lucky and had the most goated sex ed teachers in middle school. You could legit ask them anything about sex, and they would answer.
sex
One time a kid asked her what cum tasted like, and she legit described it to the class. Can you imagine having the guts to describe that to a room full of middle schoolers?
Woah that is hardcore as hell. Shouts to the kid for having the gut to ask too, lmao. I would have never asked teachers anything about sex, my mind pre-baptised with cursed shit beyond their comprehension
One of those episodes (the sex therapist having the husband slow down and caress his wife all over her body) was practically a vaccine for all the toxic sex messaging I had as a kid. I'm really grateful for that :)

Baby Ashina: so what do you think of forcefem mindbreak inflation petplay?
Based teacher: Actually, Ashina, the history of that subculture goes back to...
Baby Ashina:
That would be based, except at that age I had no idea what forcefem even was
You'd be surprised at some of the cursed things she knows lmao Then again I've seen some shit myself
I learned a lot from that show as a teenager. A lot more than from porno mags, sex ed, or skinamax soft porn.
Yeah, I think they were a net positive
