Some problems run deeper than their individual manifestations such as these for which one may propose techie solutions -- here, sex ed is the only permanent solution. It's time to find ways to explain to boys that sex is an ordinary way to have fun and/or connect romantically between adult people, rather than a source or arena of power or status as it is endlessly portrayed in media.

To boys? really?

Have you ever read the cover of Cosmo or seen clothing with blatant cleavage?

The power/control dynamic extends in all directions & I have no doubt that some of this revenge porn extends in the other direction..

Sex and power/status are inextricably linked for much of society.

Society implies culture thus construct whereas this feature is observed in much (all?) of animal kingdom as well.

And that's the problem.
