[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The irony is that people will go back to secret stashes of DVDs and magazines.... Which kids are more likely to find anyways. [/quote]

It is so accessible online. Teen p**n usage is way up over when we were kids. Please educate yourself. This law is a good thing for kids. [/quote]

A group of 8 boys were busted using their Chromebooks & document share for porn. They put the photos and vids in a shared doc for months. No parent or school admin would have been any wiser if one boys brother hadn’t ratted him out when he got upset with him.

This was on school issued machines. If kids want to see porn they will find a way. [/quote]

[b]Genuinely curious, how do we know teen p*rn usage is way up vs just that they are using a different medium than previously for p*rn? [/b]Now it's on the internet but growing up you could find magazines or women's erotica either in your older sibling's or parent's stash or at the bookstore. It wasn't difficult for me, a girl growing up in the 80s/90s, to snoop and find it.[/quote]

As someone who volunteered with teens, I know people who were personally trying to help middle school boys who felt like their lives were being ruined by our addiction. I’m totally on board with adults going to a kiosk, getting carded, and getting the online equivalent of an 18+ passport. Adults can make their own choices.

Here’s an article that states that prevalence is up:

Here’s a peer-reviewed journal article supporting my premise that porn is bad for teens:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8534324/

And here’s the second hit on Google because I’m lazy. It further supports my premise that Porn is uniquely bad for teenage brains.  Whether you agree with this newspaper’s slant or not, the first three paragraphs are not wrong. Didn’t read father because of time, and because this is such a duh.

If you still disagree with me, I’d suggest looking more into modern neuroscience in general.[/quote]
