Why do you believe this? I wasn't sure what to believe, and after some casual searches it seems like the percentage who reported ever having used pornography is actually decreasing, but the frequency of viewing pornography has gone up for those who actively view it. But it also seems to differ a lot by country, what I found for Sweden doesn't match what researchers found in Spain, for example, and I'm sure the US would be different too.
It would seem to me like parental controls and supervision of computer/phone use is much higher than when I was growing up. Basically none of our parents understand what this new "interwebs" thing was about today, but every parent today know exactly what it is. None of us kids had any parental controls on our computers AFAIK, but today it seems to be the norm, at least what I can tell from my own circles of acquaintances.
