Are they? I mean, I guess it's uncomfortable to think about, but I don't think there's any reason to believe that seeing porn at an early age hurts kids. Obviously, it depends on what they see (something violent, for instance, might have a very different impact from your usual vanilla porn), and it's different if an adult is showing it to them, because that's a predatory situation.
I don't know. Maybe I'm biased. I mean, there was a girl in my class who was having her second baby aged fifteen. Porn would be nothing to her; she was doing the real thing.
But a friend once told me he'd seen bestiality aged 11. Part of me wants to say it's wrong for children to watch animal porn but yet he turned out a well-adjusted adult and a really nice bloke. Sample size of one proves nothing, I know.
I wonder if it's any different from me as a six year old seeing two dogs do it. I'm completely equivocal. And I do often argue for less preciousness about our bodies and what they do. I mean, we don't get embarrassed about pollination, do we?
But yet there's still something about a kid watching animal porn. Maybe it's a knee-jerk. I don't know.
What age were you when you first looked at porn?
