Am I the only one doubting that 30% of kids didn't see any porn by age 18? They're probably just uncomfortable admitting it, right?
- EA-3167 1y agoAll things being equal, I find it easier to believe in people being dishonest on a survey, than somehow never seeing a single article of porn by age 18.

- sejje 1y agoI saw porn when I was 8, with no Internet to facilitate it. The neighbor kids' single father had a large stash which they were always going through.

- jolmg 1y ago100% - >25% by age 11 - 70% before 18 = <5% after 18. I assume the "while" means the former isn't included in the latter.

- Aurornis 1y agoI believe it. The numbers are likely different between boys and girls. It’s also easy to underestimate the number of kids raised in strict and/or religious households. Working with college students I’m constantly a little surprised at how many of them arrive at college with semi-strict religious upbringings that they continue.

- LargoLasskhyfv 1y agoSimilar. Just not one :-) From 11 years old, going on and on, with about same age girls(and their mothers!(at the same time!)), most slightly older though, or really grown up, extremely fit female joggers in the forest(exactly 13tienth bday), a bunch of NUNS, female teachers, a bunch of(bi-sexual)nurses(exactly 16tienth bday), ... All without much exposure to porn, which I've found to be ugly, from the little I've seen. Because it isn't real, and staged. Whereas I effortlessly gave them ultimate bliss, without hurting them in any way, enjoying the glory of their moments very much.
- scarygliders 1y agoBush Porn. Here in Scotland, way back when I was, oh, 7, 8, 9 years old, always stumbled across discarded porn magazines in the woods I used to play in. Moved area when I was 11, once again, always used to stumble across discarded porn. Bush porn was a thing.
- xrd 1y agoI have a grandfather who shared Scottish ancestry. In the "woods" of suburban Los Angeles he found some porn in the alleyway, and then stashed it under the "davenport" couch. My grandmother found it while cleaning in anticipation of our departure. I'll never forget the look on his face as he tried to extricate himself from that mess. "Bush Porn" is a funny term. If you invented it, nice work.
