A quote from phsycology today:

“Although both younger and older men reported an overall positive experience with porn, younger men also indicated a greater degree of negative effects than did the older men. This result flies in the face of conventional opinion that the younger generation is more open to pornography than the older population. The researchers speculate that this is due to sexual experience. Young, inexperienced men turn to pornography for sexual knowledge, and when they later enter into sexual relationships they find out that real sex isn’t at all like what they’ve been viewing on the Internet. In contrast, older men who gained their sexual experience before pornography became widely available know that porn is fantasy, not reality.

Porn sets unrealistic expectations about sex for naïve viewers, but it enhances sexuality for those who have realistic expectations about it.”

Porn is harmless when you know it’s fantasy and you take responsibility for that.
