So you didn't even read the study you cite 😀
You think that divorce is such an awful thing that everybody should try to be virgins on their wedding days and have no more than 1 sex partner per lifetime?
Okay. Lots of Puritans believe that. They thinks that's an ideal world. They have at various times in history invented and implemented brutal punishments for people violating the one-sex-partner-per-lifetime rule.
Normal humans look at how unbelievably miserable Puritan life is for most people choose to have more natural and much more healthy sex lives. If you want to have 1 or 0 sex partners that is clearly your choice and we'll be happy to accept that, but you trying to impose that idiocy on the rest of us because you think all divorce needs to be stamped out, then... sorry, we're going to fight against that.
Over the last 10-20 years American young adults aged 14-24 have been having less sex than ever. They are dating less than ever. They are also reporting far more depression than ever. They are killing themselves at rates never before seen. There is a massive mental health crisis among these lonely sexless young people. You seem to think this is a good thing. I do not. Our entire approach to raising sons and daughters and the entire way we interact with our young adults is failing them miserably. We created a huge problem. We fucked up really bad. You may believe that they just need to make sure they have no sex until marriage. I disagree. I think that sexual frustration is making everything worse. I think that fear of sex, fear of catching some kind of trauma from sex, is keeping them from living happy lives.
So 100% subjective opinion.
Nothing that can be measured.
(also, I have asked dozens of people that question. NONE of them answered the way you did. 😀 😀 😀 )
LOL.
Yeah. Right.
You realize that the entire concept of "sexualize" is absurd, right?
Nature makes us sexual. No humans can make any human sexual 😀 😀 😀 😀
Ask 100 people and you'll get 120 different answers. The word is garbage. Totally useless for communication.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers performed shirtless for their audience. That's sexualization for entertainment, right?
but what does "sexualize" mean?
They are obviously not girls, but women.
In any case are these women sexualized? 
re: "she didn’t sexualize herself"
How can you tell?
Would there be something not ok if she had sexualized herself?
Children should be protected from all threats. Including threats from nature, technology, and other children.
Teenagers are not children. That is just scientific fact. Sorry you don't like it.
There are lots of myths about how bad the teenage brain is. They are false. Teen brains are just fine. Thousands of years of history proves it.
Miss Connecticut entered a beauty contest. She wanted people to look at her and think 'That young woman is sexy and beautiful'
Would you say she wanted to be sexualized?
Would you say she sexualized herself?
Is that bad?
Hmmmmm.... who to believe?
a qualified expert in the field who wrote an excellent book and cited tons of qualified verifiable sources?
or a random anonymous dork on the internet who makes ridiculous claims?
Yes. You feel temptation. You keep giving in to temptation. Somebody told you that these natural desires are somehow wrong. Rather than say you're weak you claim that it is an addiction. But it shows none of the normal markers of an addiction. It's obviously scientifically not an addiction at all.
It seems bizarre to us that Jewish tradition says 12 year old females are women and 13 year old males are men,
but that is a much more normal, natural, and healthy approach than ours.
With all due respect porn addiction is not real. That whole thing was thoroughly debunked by Dr David Ley among others.
16-year-olds are NOT children.
To say so is unscientific garbage. Our young adults have internalized their own infantilization to such an extent that they openly deny the existence of #BasicBiology

These statistics are old,
but they show that the perpetrators of sexual assaults of teens are mostly other teens.
We have reduced our thinking to THE ONLY PERMITTED narrative, which says the perp must be a \"grown ass adult\"
Let's be honest about these things.
Regardless of your political orientation, it is important to consider sex trafficking claims carefully. They are sometimes misrepresented for profit or political gain. This victim spoke clearly about the misuse of her story.

When we decriminalized alcohol the mafia lost its main source of income and most of its power.
Decriminalizing drugs and prostitution has the same impact.
Legal things can be regulated.
Prohibition is what nasty drug lord mafia bosses want.
We must keep legal porn.
