Sex Roulette - this is the name given to the challenge, the essence of which is that girls have to get into bed with as many boys as possible without protection. In theory, the winner is the one who doesn't get pregnant - but in practice there are no winners, only losers - writes eggy.hu.
The essence of the sex roulette challenge that pops up on TikTok is for young people to get into bed with as many people as possible. Although it is said in the challenge that the girl who does not get pregnant wins, the "losers" must also be considered: either the TikTok babies will come (and with them the stigmatized fate of mothers of daughters), or the trauma of abortion must be dealt with.
Even as an adult, it's hard to understand why children join the challenge.
What drives a little girl to participate in this dangerous, life-threatening, silly "game" that is dangerous not only for unwanted pregnancy, but also for sexually transmitted diseases?
Most of the time, it is so that he can feel that he belongs to a group, that he is accepted, so that he does not end up in the "trash", on the fringes of the community. In order to appear brave and strong, fearless in the eyes of others, thus to feel like a person who is capable of crossing borders, who is reckless - the article reveals, in which they try to unravel the details behind the dangerous challenge with the help of a psychologist. On Il Mattino, psychologist and psychotherapist Roberto Ausilio mentions curiosity and the spirit of competition behind the need for acceptance at the social level, the very factors that lead to the acceptance of (also often humiliating or dangerous) initiation rituals in real life. The children have to show how brave they are in order to be accepted by others, but the tasks here and there are irrationally, unrealistically risky and there are many humiliating episodes in them.
However, the need to belong somewhere is so great that the children do not appreciate it, the great moment experienced, the victory has a price and consequences even if no one happens to get pregnant or catch diseases. Because irresponsible, indiscriminate, and immature sexual acts, either out of love or because of peer pressure, can have negative psychological consequences.
On one side of the scale, the feeling of well-being in the young person increases, because he was able to meet the challenge, and on the other side, his self-esteem decreases drastically. Promiscuity and irresponsible sexual behavior will thus be both a consequence and a breeding ground for the unfolding of deep-seated mental disorders.
It really is time to sound the alarm very loudly about social platforms
, because their unregulated operation endangers the safety of young generations.
