A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Based on math and porn law, the minimum age to be a porno MILF should be 36 (self.showerthoughts)

Given that porn can't sexualize anyone under 18, she would have had to be at least 18 when she conceived her first child.

Since MILFs in porn are generally "my friend's mom" or something generationally similar, ie the MILF is defined as such by someone the age of her child, said child and their peers must be at least 18 as well.

Therefore, the minimum age for a MILF character in a porn, legally and mathematically, should be 36

If “half your age, plus seven” gets you the youngest age society will accept, then, “minus seven, times 2” should get you the oldest acceptable age.

So (18-7)*2 is 22. A mom with a 3 year-old is still a mom.

And if that doesn’t suspend your disbelief, you could still slap on “step” to the relationship label and the script writes itself.

That's conceptually different. You're taking about why society approves of regarding age differences in dating.
