Does Porn Hurt Children?

[Luxman]

Porn does warp kids minds about sex to some extent.
Education is the key, sex ed. in junior high should be more complete, not just about the biology or reading, but watching soft core movies, and a bit of role playing in class, by actors, teachers and even students, with their clothes on.
Preteens should be taught about friendship and relationships, not just by reading stories, but with role playing in class, acting out different situations that could occur in the real world, to give them practical experience on how to behave and what to do in similar situations.

Preteens?? Do Bad Parents Hurt Children? I mean...if a preteen (or a minor, really) watches porn, porn can hurt them. But that's true also for a preteen or a minor watching war, doing drugs etc. I thought that parents were there for a reason, beside campaigning against porn, violence and drugs.

Bad adults hurt kids. Honestly if I hear another 'child' question I'm gonna retch. Raise YOUR children it's YOUR responsibility. This grand illusion that's the world is about the children is succeeding in doing nothing but producing an entire generation of entitled needy adults. Kids need to get hurt its how they learn it's how they evolve out of childhood remember what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. Who let's their children watch porn? Save the 'I can't watch them all the time' BS they are your kids, they didn't ask to be born and it is your responsibility to turn them into adults even at the cost of your enjoyment and/or free time.

Like already mentioned poor parenting hurts children. There are a lot of forms of entertainment that children should not be involved in, but its up to their parents to protect their children from those things, not societies. What would be the point of growing into an adult if you were still limited on doing things you couldn't do as a child just to protect the next child.

as stated multiple times, bad parenting hurts children. also the backwards, archaic and hypocritical views that the american public in general has on the subject of sex hurts the sexual development of kids as they mature the most IMO. sex is portrayed all over the place and is glorified in the media yet at the same time it's looked down on and people are shamed and ridiculed for being open about it. post pubescent teens feel the urge to start having sex and feel pressure to do so yet they're simultaneously discouraged by others and told not to act on their urges by authority figures. finally they'll get to the point where it's acceptable for them to start having sex with each other but they still are shamed if they do it too frequently, or with too many people, or the wrong people, or at the wrong point in their relationship with somebody, or if they talk about it too much, or, or ,or. there are so many contradicting and hypocritical messages on the subject that it's amazing kids aren't MORE fucked up than they already are in their sexual development. also, sex education classes are a joke..but that's a whole other can of worms...

Does Porn Hurt Children?

If you're looking for advice on what to smack your children with when disciplining them, I'd say generally no. Most porn mags and DVDs just aren't weighty enough to get the job done. And the digital stuff? Pfft! You ever tried smacking someone with non-physical media? It's impossible, unless maybe you wanna spank them with your whole damned laptop, and then what if you drop it and break it? That's expensive, so I'd say probably not worth the attempt unless they, say, totaled the family car or something.

Nah, you need something fairly cheap and pretty meaty if you really wanna make their backsides sting. As such, I recommend the Holy Bible. It's got a metric shit tonne of pages, so it's really got some heft behind it and will totally get the job done.

tl;dr - The Bible Hurts Children More Than Porn​

(I wonder how many people skipped the fine print...)​

Education works? Most people didn't listen in school.

Sex education doesn't work.

It should be replaced by two years of driving classes, and the driving age moved up to eighteen.

Can we specify whether we're talking about teenagers or actual children here? Please god tell me its teenagers we're talking about.

And my opinion...depends on the kid. I think that if a teen is taught the realities of sex, learns about the female anatomy and generally has a healthy, knowledged view on sex, then porn won't affect him or how he treats women in the future. However if a teen is left to his own devices when it comes to learning about sex, and porn is all he's got as a learning tool...yeah it'll stunt him sexually for sure. But it all comes down to parenting. Teach your kids about sex, anatomy, repercussions etc...don't rely on the education system to do your work for you. And of course, monitor your computer! If you see your kid viewing stuff they shouldn't be, then put a damn filter on the computer. Obviously horny boys will get it elsewhere, but at least they're not getting poor sexual education on your own watch.

Yes it does harm and has caused huge brain damage to both girls and boys... but aren't we all in the end less or more sociopathic? As long as you get your paycheck and can accuse someone else to make yourself feel better, who cares?...

What comes to religions, whoever originally invented marriage was a genious and this illusion called equality and peace withn our hypocritical and sociopathic society, the bibble was closest to the correct direction than anything else...
