Should children be taught the negative effects of watching porn?

I think they should !! If the average age kids are watching porn is as young as 13 I think it’s important for children to be taught how dangerous porn is and how it damages the brain. Especially when watched at such a young age.

Porn companies know they profit off of getting kids addicted when they’re young so they have long term customers for life.

Porn normalizes the abuse of women which can and does translate to the abuse of girls in real life by their male peers.

According to a 2010 study that analyzed 304 scenes from best-selling pornography videos, almost 90% of scenes contained physical aggression, while nearly 50% contained verbal aggression, primarily in the form of name-calling. Targets of these displays of aggression were overwhelmingly women and either showed pleasure or neutrality in response to the aggression. Some studies that have shown nearly 90% of pornography depicts violence

A meta-analysis published in Aggressive Behavior confirmed this link, and went on further to state that there was a significant correlation between sexually violent pornography and attitudes supporting violence against women. This correlation supports findings suggesting that increased pornography use has an influence on non-conscious responses to stimuli, meaning that we are both consciously and unconsciously being conditioned by pornography in a negative way.

More people need to be talking about this. I feel like this is a very unpopular opinion for some reason

Many ex porn stars like Mia khalifa also voice their negative experiences as well;

Here are some videos I like that talk about the realities of porn & sex work in general >>

Notice how all the men are in these comments exposing themselves. A lot of men are addicted to pork and don’t see women as human beings. Just objects for their sexual desire. Take notes ladies ‼️

  • Maybe when they’re in high school but not as kids

  • I don't know how they would ever quantify negative effects. Just because it affects one or a segment of the population negatively doesn't mean it affects everyone that way.

  • Excellent take. We should teach children not to do drugs and not to use porn, which acts on the brain like a drug. Of course they will still do it but at least they will be aware of the dangers.

    Of course to do that we would have to teach children about sex, which is a no-go for conservatives.

  • You talk about porn like it is the worst thing that can happen.

    Better educate your kids about what it is and isn't. And talk about the negative and POSITIVE of it.

    • There are literally no positives

    • Your question is moot since your bias is absolute. It would be good for you to research more on the subject because there are positives even if you don't want to acknowledge it

  • I myself was watching porn even though I was under 18. Look what I've become now. Elephants fucked my psyche. Rhinos and elephants together fucked my psychology.

  • porn for 18+

  • Yes of course. But at an age when they can relate

  • Sure but soon they'll ban it in favour of the mandated Onlyfans membership that is part of the liberal sign up package

  • Only of girls are taught the negative side effects of female mental fantasy.
    Watching stupid chick flicks and romance garbage.
    Filling their heads with bullshit false and unreachable standards of relationships.
    Making them chase the unreachable dream of perfection in a partner.

    Many companies know they profit off of getting girls believing in fairytales when they’re young so they have long term customers for life. Chasing the dream of the guy who spends shit tons of money, expecting flowers, gifts, rings, a massive wedding, expensive dress, endless other bullshit.

    Teaching girls that if they disagree with a man, it’s ok to slap him, act entitled and throwing a tantrum. Telling girls that men are disposable forms of attention and stuff.

    More people need to be talking about this. I feel like this is a very unpopular opinion for some reason.

    Any male who has been raped by the divorce system, lost their kids, house, income, business to some spoiled entitled female voice their experience.

  • From experience, I can tell you... YES!!!
    And I must say thank you for talking about and keep talking about it.
    It is very addictive. There are women that study the science of it and then use it against these men. Mostly in the femdom category. Femdom is pure trash. Nothing wrong with women being dominant but femdom is something more. It is basically anti-male.
    Porn is the new cigarette. It needs to be warned about in SexEd. I did everything right. I didn't do drugs, drink, bad things etc... But I never knew porn should have been apart of those things... Everyone says, oh porn isn't bad. YES IT IS.
    I've seen more naked women than any man predating 2000.
    That does something to you. I am currently trying to stop. I've gotten 17 days. I have a pretty good plan that works now but because I know it works I don't want to start it.

    Only thing I wish you had listed was the negative impact it is having on men. This post is more about women even though of course it was about men. And because of that I imagine the other guys don't like this post.

    I was reading a article and it was saying how porn is a teen or teen boy epidemic now.

    • Kink is also negative. It’s being normalized to the point people my age are talking about if they’re a dom or submissive 🙄

  • Saying porn makes a man "abuse a woman" is like saying a movie with murder in it makes people become a murderer. Like no... Only 1 percent of people who are delusional to do that would... The same way... Porn has never made me wanna abuse a woman, I been warching it since 13... People make the choice to go out and rape woman, then blame it on porn... Porn didn't make you do that, you did. Also teaching them about the harm won't make any difference cos back when I was 13 I wouldn't believe it causes any negative effect and would of jus ignored the teacher... I'm heavily addicted to porn right now and can't stop jerking off... Which I guess is a negative effect, but I have the choice to stop any time I want... It's jus I don't want to... People need to have self control... It's like banning all food cos some fat people can't help thereself and become obese... Let's ban all food so the small amount of food addicts can't become addicted... Like no, those small amount of addicts jus need to learn self control Same here

    • Everything in moderation, should we ban air too cos some people become addicted to air? people jus need to learn about moderation

    • Like why should we ruin something and ban it for everyone jus cos the small amount of addicts can't help themselves? They are the ones causing the own harm so I have no sympathy for them if they can't have self control, they must deal with their own pronlems

    • Why is everyone disagreeing with a true comment? Is it cos most people are stupid? or because people don't like to deal with reality and want all their problem's solved on a silver platter by banning porn? If you have a porn addiction stop watching it, you don't see cigarettes being banned... Deal with your own problems instead of relying on government to fix your problems you lazy iresponsible fucks
