Yes now it's totally different than all of the crazy shit we watched on the internet growing up. The world is a dangerous and degenerate place compared to the idyllic utopia of our youth.

It's not about "sheltering" children from the trials and tribulations of real life, what they have access to is manipulative and unhealthy.

Curious what your opinions are on the epidemic of pornography use in young children.

Well how young is young? I certainly lied on that "are you 18" question plenty of times.

I think the average age is 11 for boys, that means half are under 11 when they first encounter pornography...

also read somewhere that sexual assault perpetration is occurring at younger ages.
