In the sense of the French Revolution, perhaps

In the sense of Sylvester Stallone and Sandra Bullock in demolition man.

Yeah, about that. An alarmingly significant part of Gen Z and younger gens reportedly claim that strangling is a standard part of sex. 1/4 (or more) are claiming a non-binary status (which in itself is fine on an individual level but alarming as a trend) There's hardly anything positive about this "revolution".

We should clearly start working on ways to reliably postpone children's contact with online porn. Until somebody proves otherwise, we should think there's an obvious causation here.

What's the cause for alarm?

> reportedly claim that strangling is a standard part of sex.

That "standard sex" is stimulation of genitals. Strangling is not.

OK, how’s that an issue?

What is the issue when people associate "inflict pain to other" with "taking pleasure for myself" ? I dunno man, I dunno.

There's a technique to it and properly done not painful but pleasurable from the oxygen restriction.

Choking has been a pretty common act in sex for many, many years. I don't think it's anything new, and I doubt it's much more prevalent in the younger generations

Unfortunately not just my opinion. See for instance https://www.svt.se/nyheter/granskning/ug/unga-om-hart-sex-st...

I don't doubt that it has been done before, and I think consenting adults should be able to do nearly everything. But by children and young adults as part of their first sexual experiences? That's a bad trend.
