I certainly did as a kid in the late 90s and early 2000s. I found dirty magazines before I had access to the Internet, and after I visited both pornsites and outright gore like rotten.com. None of it harmed me in any way.
If anything, the various shock sites we were tricked into seeing, like goatse, tub girl, lemon party and 2 girls 1 cup were worse, but even those weren’t too bad, and I appreciate understanding the cultural references to them.
The real question is whether seeing some porn is actually a problem. I’d argue not, provided there’s also sex ed teaching you that porn does not model healthy sex or relationships.
