I've always wondered: what's wrong with a child watching porn? (real question) Is it bad psychologically? Do we have study to back this up? I've been exposed to porn at quite a young age, say 10, never though it'd armed me.
edit: Thinking about it, I've found one reason: porn tend to be misogynistic hence makes a poor education. But then, blocking porn doesn't solve the root of the problem. Also, we all know what prohibition do when it comes to kids: makes it even more desirable.
- PUSH_AX 8y agoYou got me thinking about this, assuming good sexual education relating to safety and age of consent, fundamentally, I can't see an issue with allowing someone to see how healthy sexual encounters play out in a video format. So we're talking about a very specific wholesome type of porn. The taboo and embarrassment are social constructs we could get past. Would you stop your child from watching another species have sex in say a zoo? What reason would you give if so? I think we could separate observation of the act from participation in the minds of our youth, probably not in my lifetime but I think it could be done.
- quadcore 8y agoI think I see a strong reason now. It's kind of hard practically speaking to judge the content of porn (is it legal, illegal, violent, reasonably healthy, consented, etc), so better block it all together.
