Exactly. We have no idea what this is doing to people.
There is a shocking drop in the testosterone levels of young men from 1999 to 2016 per studies if you google it. 20-30% drop.
The correlation in data would obviously be there but who knows about causation.
I am 50 and didn't see hardcore porn until I was almost 18. Some kid got into his fathers porn collection and was playing it at a party. I still remember it was the most horny I had ever been at that point in my life. It is illogical to believe that level of stimulation from the onset of puberty has no effect on development.
I don't see what the solution to this is though. It is a really tough subject to study on any real level.
- Auracle 5y agoBack before the modern age it probably wasn’t uncommon for children/teens to see actual people having sex in front of them. Also, sperm levels have been dropping for far longer than internet porn has been a thing. It stands to reason they might share a cause. There isn’t a solution. You can’t block teens from viewing porn. The best thing you can do is educate them that (most) porn isn’t a reflection of what most sex is like, and to watch out for porn addiction.
