Well showing porn to young children could certainly give them some unrealistic ideas about sex, because it is harder to frame stuff in context as a child than as an adult.
I've certainly visited sites where I've been exposed randomly to porn without googling for it. Especially disguised links on forums etc.
- jQueryIsAwesome 14y agoI don't think unrealistic expectations are the issue, Forrest Gump gives unrealistic expectations about life and success but nobody is trying to ban it; not to mention there is tons of amateur porn with fairly normal sex. The issue is social perception, dumbness by the masses pretending there is something evil and inmoral about watching other people have sex.
- jiggy2011 14y agoEven forest gump has an (IIRC) 15 certificate here in the UK. The issue is that you don't necessarily control which porn your kids would see first. And there is certainly a disproportional amount of "extreme" content available prominently. I'm not sure it's necessarily just hysteria, I know people who would happily consume porn themselves but would be very mindful of what they expose their kids too.
