My 22 year old son vehemently disagrees. And from what I've read from young men, many agree with him. When I (we?) were kids porn was Playboy or Penthouse or Hustler. Tame by comparison to today. As my son stressed with me, you can find _anything_ via the internet. Anything. ANYTHING. A developing brain can't unsee stuff and it does warp people's perceptions of what is normal.
Having said that, I am deeply suspicious of any move to "protect the children" because it's always used as a cover for a move toward authoritarianism.
- Aachen 4y agoI'm not that much older than your son and had a different experience. (My youth was definitely not magazines, if that's what playboy and penthouse are supposed to refer to.) I think we'll need more than n=2 before being able to come to an informed conclusion here.
