Multiple countries are trying to force porn sites to have an efficient age verification. With frightening numbers like half of 12 year old boys go monthly to porn sites.
Sure for an adult who remember the time where at best one kid would have brought a magazine to school, it feels concerning. However, it’s been easily 20 years that every household has high speed internet which is full of porn. So the kids under 30 (let’s call them Gen-Z) had a massive access to porn while growing up.
Is there any “sociologicial” studies about how it impacted these young adults ? Are they sexually more fucked-up than the millennials ?
I can report having access to porn did not cause me harm; if anything it made me calmer and less agitated.
I think that the difficult thing about sexuality is that it’s illegal. Having essential and normal parts of yourself criminalized is the problem and causes all bad side-effects. Having easy access to porn breaks that barrier and allows people to accept themselves.
