Some kids stumble upon it by accident, many seek it out themselves out of curiosity, I remember when I was under 18 reading smutty fanfiction, I’m not surprised

I think the type of person who would wait till 18 is the type of person who never wants to see it

I kinda used it as a coping mechanism for my parents’ divorce at 12. I didn’t have access to other ways to “escape”, so to speak

Tbf my first exposure to sexual content was a mystery novel my mom recommended to me (she forgot what was in it) and then I googled what I read

if I hadn’t seen numerous studies on this topic already maybe it would be concerning but it’s well documented that most are exposed before high school

Not really kids are sexual, it’s adults who just don’t want to think about it like that. I was watching porn in 5th grade and like half of the guys and girls in my grade did slap ass fridays and scoop tuesdays. I don’t think it’s bad it’s just natural.

I looked it up when I was 10 simply because my older friend said it was cool, I had ZERO idea what sex was until I saw it for the first time

Victim to what free will, sexual desire? Its not like it was forced on me, it was a choice and normal. Like it’s not a coincidence thats around the same time girls got boobs. If anything I wish it was more talked about, I was a victim of being afraid of sex. Adults acting like its was wrong, when it was just me… and not just me but a chunk of my classmates too Idk are u religious by chance? As an atheist it always felt like the evangelical morals are why society can’t properly address this topic

Porn is rape little bro Im As atheist as they come The monetary incentive behind the porn industry strips people of their consent by acting as a coercive force There js a chance the porn has also changed some view you may hold or influenced your sexuality through the pushing of more extreme content Some are lucky and have a nice wank And forget abt it Others not

I also will say that i think internet porn has a link to current anti transgender legislation due to many straight men having their sexuality changed and then having sex with trans women on grindr(real phenomenon)

Ur gonna get some down votes for that strong first line, and I’m probably older than u lol. But I get ur sentiment and fair enough. I would admit I’ve probably gotten into more extreme stuff before most, I don’t think it really limited me. Maybe a world where porn never existed would be better. But in this world it does exist and being shut out isn’t the answer. Educating and being more open about sex would be my choice. I can’t speak on how OF or ai will affect kids now tho.

And that would interesting. I’m from a city and my parents were always mid on lgbt. And my dabbling in those porns as a teen helped me be more accepting, even if I was kinda sexualizing them too at the time. I could see how it could be different in some more anti lgbt place. But I would wonder the stats behind it.

Porn at the end of the day is a capitalist industry And most of my gripes are an extension of that But with porn the issues of capitalism are highlighted to a million
