At what age does someone gain the right to discover Porn?

I would give away my "right" of spontaneously discovering porn. "Suddently porn" is an annoying issue on many sites in the web that are on the side of shabby. Take torrent trackers for example.

  Ironically, one cause of sudden unexpected porn in the UK is apparently content filters on mobile internet access. Like all content filters, they have both false positives and questionable classification decisions, except that some of the mobile providers apparently decided it was a good idea to use the blocked-content page to advertise the hardcore porn you can buy from them.

  Thanks for the reply - I think more what I was looking for was your viewpoint on why kids accidentally seeing porn is a bad thing? My assumption is that it wouldn't be of interest to them and they'd move on, but that's pure speculation.

    I think that human sex life is a pretty fragile thing and letting people to tamper with yours for their fun or their profit is not cool. By sex live I mean the whole mental picture. If you start drawing it from accidental porn, you'll get it distorted. You will get it distorted anyway when you'll seek porn, but now it would be your own decision at least.

  Funny you should mention torrents By making it require a work around to view even mild pornography, the work arounds will inevitably lead to areas of the most hardcore right in your face. Say some 12 year old wants to look at naked ladies, what's he gonna be doing? Probably google image search boobs or some soft core pinup girls name, relatively harmless and have his curiosity satisfied. However if the lower levels of that are blocked the work around with inevitably lead to a much bigger source with the violent pornography just a click away from the more regular. Same thing happened with P2P, we used to have services where it was easy to download a single mid quality song, companies put an end to those so we found a much more efficient way to shift much larger amounts of data. Now it's hard to steal a single song but really easy to steal a full 320 album rip.

I believe 13 years old would be just right.
