I'm going to sadly have to go with Porn here, I think it has unfortunately become a very normal part of the upcoming generations young life as they grow up, it sucks kids of today are being exposed to these things earlier than older generations were.
Porn by itself is not dangerous. It’s often the misunderstanding and lack of education that causes porn to be dangerous: STDs, unintended pregnancies, misinterpretation of situations or social cues, even body dysmorphia. Religion is often to blame for this, but it’s really more than that. Parents need to take initiative. When you raise your children to not hide their sexual interests and teach healthy sexual boundaries, teaching them understand how sex works and when/where it’s appropriate… well then, porn is a age specific medium (adults) for what it’s intended, fictional indulgement. It becomes no more harmful that reading books, or watching a movie.
tl;dr don’t shame your kids for asking natural questions. find books or materials on age appropriate conversation topics. Teach them. and again I repeat, DO NOT SHAME YOUR KIDS, ANSWER QUESTIONS HONESTLY.

Can’t argue against or for this comment. All I know is Human trafficking is more common to commercialized sex (aka physical interaction), but the media amps it up quite a bit so we’re filled with misinformation.
I disagree with this to a certain extent, porn is okay for adults, but in general it can get really addictive, and so many underage kids can easily access porn when they shouldn't be there.
I am okay for sexual education and all that, but porn is much more than that, something bad, the whole industry is affecting the younger generation, all they ask is "are you 18" on such websites these days, kids can just say yes simply and access these things, that's why it's bad.
Not only kids, porn is like a drug, maybe not as worse, but still very addictive, I feel like we can surely have better forms of sexual educations than porn for kids man. And adults surely shouldn't just be jerking off watching porn, at that point porn is no education, you know everything about sex, what's more to know about from porn?
It sounds like you have an unhealthy misunderstanding of porn and this is not a conversation that I’ll continue to argue because it won’t help you until you’re ready to unlearn the misinformation. I hope porn isn’t an issue for you or someone important to you and if it is, you learn how to deal with those issues and find help to overcome addiction.
Okay, I didn't obviously mean it like adults can't or shouldn't masturbate, I mean as in not get stuck with porn, and actually get into or look into actual relationships for the betterment of your life when you are an adult, and not get stuck in your room watching porn all the time.
And regarding the other VERY VALID points I mentioned, I stand by them, they are simply facts, especially porn's negative effects in underage kids and the next generation in general, that simply isn't misinformation.
Also to correct, these websites actually don't even warn 18+ in most cases, companies like pornhub does't give a fuck about if their viewers are legal 18+ people watching it, and the fact that kids can access it easily through incognito mode and the internet is scary.
This is like black market/guns for kids, and stop connecting masturbation with porn, we are looking at specific types of sexual content being porn here, and masturbation can be done in anyways, looking at those websites isn't the only way or the end of the world, because people existed before these things came into existance.
I also don't understand how you are talking about "parents should be understanding and help kids" which is nice to hear, but do you in all seriousness think a child exposed to porn in a young age, will tell their parents I watched this when they know to a certain degree that their parents won't be pleased to know that or it's something they shouldn't have done? All they will do is keep it a secret until it becomes and addiction and worse.
Also, I just realized you compared watching pornhub with movies and books, man, I think ill just leave it here...
Lol. Everyone dv the correct answer. Cycles existed, but humans did indeed decide to break smaller cycles into smaller cycles and measure them. Tbf, probably both perspectives are correct, in different contexts. I need to think about this longer- much longer.
And how bastardized their perspective on social activities and being in public can get.
Masturbate and consume porn too much, next thing you know, you're gazing at people's asses, crotches and breasts imagining all sorts of fantasies you'd like to do involving them.
People expect sex within the first date. It could get worse from there.
That is surely good for sure, I am not against that in any way, but there are some young adults who are locked with porn which really is fictional and taped, and they can often be bad at real relationships, especially if they get extremely addicted to porn, using porn to help with you sex life is great, but it shouldn't get to a point where it's doing you no good with real relationships. Hope I am making some sense here lol
