    Porn will not fry anyones brain, lol.

    Even before internet we managed to find and pass around porn mags, so it’s as pointless as the war on drugs.

    In practice it’s pointless, but in its reasoning it’s actively harmful because it’s an attack on healthy sex self-education.

      I was super into porn from like the age of 13. Did it benefit me? Not really. Did it turn me into a sex maniac? Not hardly. I even broke up with a girl because she wanted to “enhance the relationship” and I didn’t want to get physically attached to someone I wasn’t really in love with.

      I would say it’s a pretty big stretch to describe most of the porn out there as “Healthy” though I know quite a few people have attempted to move in that direction. Still, your point has merit. People masturbate, that is normal and healthy, and they WILL find ways to enhance that experience. This refusal to accept normal, healthy human sexuality is sick and self-harming.

        As a society nobody wants to have that conversation because the mere acknowledgment that teens are sexually aware is encouraging “grooming”.
