Someone gets a call/text saying "turn on the TV!"  and they turn it on and see something they can relate to.

Me:  there's 700 channels, can you be more specific?

When it's the situation of "Giant squid-monster eats the Empire State Building" you can pretty much bet that nearly every channel is going to cover it.

But in that situation, rather than telling them to turn on the TV, it's just as easy to tell them, "Holy @#%& shit!  There's giant squid-monster eating the Empire State Building!!"

Yup, teen sex is not fanfiction bondage or hours of gentle orgasms. Sophistication requires a learning curve. 

I haven't seen a lot of that on tv shows with teens that I've watched, just the clumsy and quick missionary.  Maybe I'm watching the wrong shows?

If you want to show any awkward teenage sexual fumbling's, you have to cast an adult actor, because doing so with a teen actor constitutes child pornography.

Not entirely.  A lot depends on the age of the teenager, parental consent and the country where the show is filmed.

I believe my contrxt was how it strikes viewers. The tv shows clearly are not porn. Per se, but the fan fiction often is, and ‘evidence’ is shows like Riverdale, wherr it is lampshaded by everyine sleeping with everyone, in groups.

ISTM that I was clearly referring to Hollywood/SCal?

One I like is defeating biometric scanners. Like, putting the person's hand on the scanner after they've been killed, or removing someone's eyeball. Macabre, but it always makes me smile. Of course, I've also seen bits of wire jammed into important sockets or making a mask of someone's face. It's all good fun.

Clearly it doesn't strike all viewers that way.

Hell, some don’t watch the shows and it doesn’t strike them at all! However canon and fanon are two different things. I do think the age of the actors, reason doesn’t matter, effectively changes the story. For some it may simply make it less problematical.
