Pornography 'desensitising young people'

Most children are exposed to online pornography by their early teenage years, leaving them at risk of becoming "desensitised", a study warns.

Saw the article title and knew it had to be from some extreme left PC tripe place and lo and behold, the BBC! I first saw something close to porn at age 9/10 when by accident I stumbled across Eurotrash (an "accident" that frequently occurred over the coming years) I had access to my first porno mag by 12 and by 14 had access whenever I wanted. I'd say I got desensitised by porn but porn is not much different from a movie, there is a world of difference between watching it and real life sex and even with the PC brigade nurturing the snowflake generation, I seriously doubt they'll struggle to tell the difference between the two.

Basically all of us under the age of 30 started watching porn at a young age, and yet babies are still being made, sex is still being had, and life goes on. The moral panic is quite ridiculous, and is clearly a product of irrational fear.

They are trying to make the word desensitizing associated with low morality without directly saying so.

Hardcore porn is extreme and should only be for adults. Soft core is better for kids to at least know the basics. Sex ed is pretty much useless.

So I am in two minds when it comes to porn. Sex on the other hand should be unstigmatized as being bad/taboo.

Fact is sex is something very natural. Its why we exist for crying out loud. It is why despite what people want to keep it away from kids kids will always find a way.
