I think it isn't dangerous per say. It does however give teenagers, perticularly those who havent had sex, unrealistic ideas about what sex is really like.

Well, this is tricky. What porn does is tend towards extremes. So yes, you can get porn with shaved ladybits and you can get it with hairy ladybits, but what is quite tricky to find is what I would classify as 'normal' - that is, it's assumed that if you like your women to have pubes, you want them down to the knees (Except in vintage porn, although that tends to come with bad saxophone which may be even worse). It's not surprising, because in the porn marketplace, it's important to be able to classify things accurately and say 'this is the best place to go to for ___'.Abomination said:
The other thing I would say about porn's ability to supply niches is that this is one area which could genuinely be quite damaging to society in general (although this isn't a statement without its issues). In the past, if you were, let's say, a person who was attracted to zebras, this is something you would really tend to keep to yourself and not satisfy. And perhaps this would lead to you being personally unhappy. But now, it turns out that you can find other zebra-lovers around the world and realise 'I am not alone in my stripy equine love'. Which is all the better for you, but perhaps it would be better for society as a whole if you continued to suppress your zebra fetish.
Obviously this is silly, but of course I'm really taking about things like child porn which are not. I do wonder if the availability of child porn and the ability of paedophiles to find one another and tell one another that their condition is not as unusual as they might think is something that might make them more likely to act on it.
I have no answers here - I have no idea what the statistics are. But it's something that does occasionally concern me.
Definitly a no. Parents just have to be more careful nowadays, since the internet gives you accses to all kinds of porn.
Nude mags aren't such a big thing anymore today, but i'd say when we were teenagers that was the go-to thing to see your first boobies&bonkin'.
And i can only repeat the same thing other said in this thread over and over again already: As long as these teenagers get a healthy education on the topic sex from their parents/school/social environment and it's not a taboo i don't think it will lead any problems at all.
Everytime this topic comes up i'm amazed by the phobia towards it from alot of people, why pewpew-boomboom action flicks and criminal investigation series like CSI, NCIS or Criminal Minds with murders, serial killers and rapists are a-ok.

Thank goodness for the agenda free, paragons of honesty at the Daily Mail once again selflessly looking out for our children. Violent video games, pornography, asylum seekers, there's no evil in this world to large for those heroes to protect us from.
It's a bad thing to be addicted to, like anything addictive, but it's not the worst thing for teenagers. Teens getting into drugs and alcohol are the vices that usually end up ruining them.
Drinking and driving may take their license or their lives.
Drugs will have them locked up or ruin their grades and relationships.
Porn will may give them(usually teenage boys) a warped idea of how to look at romantic relationships and sex. That's a lot less dangerous than the other two examples.

The biggest threat to younglings is the Sith, more specifically Darth Vader. That dude will straight up murder them.General Grind said:
I don't think viewing pornography in my youth scarred me. If anything it made my first time a bit easier.
As far as danger to children I do not think porn even ranks in the top 100. I almost instantly have problems with this article as while it is not deceitful outright it is extremely misleading talk about teens show a 7 year old, a sample size of 20, a test that is to list knowledge of sexual terms and the dismissal of degrees of porn as in how violent it may be or fetishes.
The only part of this that is in any way concerning is the section starting with "Boys expect porn sex in real life" and if that was the focus of the this study then good but it feels more just gloom in doom look what Johnny saw on the internet lets get rid of it and yet that is a horrible solution as it is nearly impossible and even if it was done would be far more difficult, restrictive and wasteful then just killing the notion of "Boys expect porn sex in real life" so they don't and realize porn is generally fantasy and hardly sex one could expect in real life.

Not sure what's wrong with pornography. I think Glee and Twilight are the greatest threat to kids.
Kidding aside, I think porn, with the correct sexual education accompanying it, can help kids understand themselves more and lead to better things like less unwanted pregnancies, rape and sexual assaults in the long run. Just be sure to inform the kids early of the dangers of pedophiles, child molesters and unprotected sex. Because child molesters and the like mostly rely on the youth being uninformed to facilitate their crimes with less resistance.

Jesus. I looked on the main page for that website and I thought that i had gone back into GTA and had opened one of those parody news sites.
Holy Sensationalism Batman, fuck!
OP: Screw those who want to take away porn. It was the only thing that kept me on the straight and narrow during my teenage years. I would hate to have anyone go through those hormones without some type of outlet for sexual frustration.

I think the biggest problem it could present would be making these teens grow up to be really, really picky about what turns them on a little bit down the road. Not really a big issue I'd think, at least not until a 6 year old gets it into their head that a man being pooed on by several women in mascot costumes is the norm.
Being a teenager (which, you know, the opinion of someone belonging to the party involved might have some useful input)....
Seriously, theres nothing wrong with it, hell its healthier for teens to be exposed to it rather than just pretend that sex doesn't exist and be taught it's "wrong". While there will always be the exploitative assholes out there, most people still experience and come to understand what love and sexuality is really like (IE. not like porn at all)
Personally, I dont think that being exposed to fucked up kinds of porn as a teen impacts their views on sex too drastically (Though, everyone's different) All of this just seems like more of this "Lets get back to the idealized idea of the good old times (which never really existed)" kind of politics and hysteria.
Sexuality is normal, human, and absolutely nothing to be ashamed of.

Why can't we just blame the damn parents for not doing their responsibility in teaching their kids? Why do we have to try to make the entire world safe for them, even things they should not be part of?
Blaming porn is stupid. As others have said, porn has existed for centuries. Only concern may be the extreme fetish stuff and how that may shape perspectives of developing minds (would have to prove this to make the case, mind you. Some would argue that taste in porn is merely a reflection of the individual's ideas already). But all of that is secondary to the idea that parents doing their job to teach kids would do more then trying to police the world ever would.

I think its a good thing. We need more plumbers in the UK, by introducing teenagers to pornography they will want to be a plumber when they are older. The same goes for delivery men
the country will have well maintained boilers and really fast pizza delivery
edit: dont get me started on the daily mail.
the countless times ive seen the headline along the lines of: "porn is bad" then theres a link to another article: "look at celebrity x, does she look hot in that bikini"

But that's more a problem with our tendency as a culture to have an unhealthy attitude towards sex in the first place, not a problem with the porn itself.krazykidd said:
It's porn . . . the naked, even the sexual, human form is not a threat to a child's psyche. Any porn extreme enough to be a threat should probably be banned anyway(I'm very pro do-what-you-want, but some lines need to be drawn), if you need that to get off you should seek psychological help, not pornography.
