>I was from the first generation to experience this, by being raised on the internet in the 90s. But I guess I had to just kinda figure it out on my own. The problem is many children cannot figure it out. >I think it's important to have external education about this from other sources, but I'm not aware of any good sources on this. I don't think there are many resources. The only one I am aware of is https://www.yourbrainonporn.com/ https://www.yourbrainonporn.com/ I don't think just having resources will solve the problem. If that was the case then kids wouldn't do drugs. >A lot of religious institutions tend to rely on shame and taboo to persuade children/teens from watching porn. But I don't think that's effective either, shame and suppression can cause other issues. I'm not sold that shame and taboo can't work. In the past, prior to internet porn, you would have to go to a theater or buy a magazine or video. Many people who had the urges didn't because they didn't want to be caught due to the shame and taboo nature of the material. Due to the widespread accessibility and use by the population there is no longer shame or a taboo nature to it for many people. I saw some study a while back that said around 90% of men in the US watch porn at least once a month. I don't know the veracity of the study and I couldn't find it when I looked, but even if it is only half of that, you can't really enforce taboos and shame with only half of the population. Also, since most kids view porn there also wouldn't be any shame and taboo in their peer group. >I think even outside of porn it's important to understand this about all forms of media, that most of it is thin and largely fake. Media addiction and letting it affect your perception of reality is a general problem, especially today in the on-demand era. I fully agree. I'm not sure if a law like this is the best way to deal with this addiction, but I have to give them credit for trying.
