AWKWARD ZOMBIE

underage&'s


causing problems

There is a plethora of reasons porn is forbidden for underage folks, Syobon.

Which doesn't stop them from watching it anyway. I'm not telling him to watch porn btw, I'm just saying how he can bypass filters. I had them when I was a kid too, and they were annoying as fuck because they tend to block a bunch of shit that isn't porn as well.

There's also generally a way to bypass things by putting https in the address bar.
Or sometimes connecting directly to the website's IP.

The wayback machine works for live web sometimes.

Name them please

I too am curious

My stomach feels like crap.

I may be in the bathroom for a while

Because kids are easily influenced. A kid that sees porn can think this is how actual sex, and relationship, work. However, pornography is a terrible model for that.
Most of the time, men are pictured as powerful and women as submissive. Most of the time, the foreplay is stupid and unrealistic. Most of the time, the sex is pictured in a "passionate" way that looks really violent (thrusting like a madman trying to light a fire, slapping, pulling hair, spanking). Most of the time, actors don't use condoms. Most of the times, actors are above average when it comes to their bodies (big penises, big breasts, large hips, etc). Some times, they do insane fetishistic stuff. And so on.
This can lead kids to think this stuff is normal when it's not. I'm not saying people shouldn't have fetishes or anything - I'm saying that a teenager is too young to decide if he likes BDSM or bukkake better. At that age, sexual education is of the utmost importance, and pornography is sexual misinformation. It's adding too many irrelevant things to the mix, and drowning the actually important and relevant information in fetishes, appearances, and dangerous behaviours.
That's not counting the effects that can be associated with kids seeing genitals for the first time: traumas, questioning one's gender (not implying this is bad, but it can be painful), being scared of the other gender, etc.
Porn can fuck up people.

Hypothetically: if sex ed can teach kids porn is bullshit, would there still be as much problems with it?

Also of note: as far as I know there hasn't been any study yet on the effect of porn on kids. There's no scientific background for this discussion, it's all theories.

I can see where you're coming from here. And yea, that is true (kinda).

But I know several people (myself included) that watched porn when they were young, and we turned out pretty okay.

Yup, same here. Everyone seems to watch porn, especially teenagers. And society hasn't crumbled yet so...

No. But you don't need to look very far (read: AMURRKAH) to see that sex ed is failing hard.

I think thats due to the deeply ingrained nature of 'SEX IS BAD'. Still not sure why its considered so.

Shouldn't the focus be on fixing sex ed then, instead of aggressively banning and censoring everything (which doesn't work anyway)?

That would ask for cheddar and efforts, Syobon.
So, unrealistic expectations.
