I just bought my daughter a Chromebook for her 7th birthday. I seriously doubt she's looking for anything unsavory at this age but I let her use it unsupervised and don't intend to start supervising her in the future.
I hope no one sends her the link to imgur/spacedicks.

Addiction to alcohol leads to cancers and withdrawals can lead to death. Psychologically, addiction can make folks violent or take unnecessary risks. Cigarettes cause cancers not only in you but in those around you. They smell to high hell too. Porn is not physically addictive and is not physically harmful. It's just as addictive as video games, television, or any other form of entertainment. If your argument against…
"Porn is not physically addictive." Oh but it can be addictive . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pornography_addiction
One of the huge problems you have in this debate is the question of cause and effect. Does porn cause harm? That it does is indisputable. There are many cases where men report decreased sexual performance as a result of watching too much porn (that is a harm particularly if it interferes with close intimate relationships). If nothing else, that is a harm. Does it cause harm on the balance? That, however, is unknowabl…
> Does porn cause harm? That it does is indisputable. Isn't the whole point of this thread, and the whole international debate, that it is disputable?
> Does porn cause harm? That it does is indisputable.
> So in the end, I don't know if it causes the harms portrayed.
But, hey, what's a little internal inconsistency when you're urging everyone forward into the past?

How is your social life ? I'd be worried for people who only see sexual relationships, and somehow all relationships through cheaply crafted pornography.
My social life is just like I'd want it to be. I got few close friends that I can trust and that's all I asked for. If someone only sees sexual relationships it's probably not caused by pornography at young age but some other mental problems. You mustn't mix up porn and relationships because frankly they don't have anything to do with eachother.
Personally I started watchin porn on the internet at age of 7 and more actively at age of 10. I have not noticed any sign of it negatively affecting me. E: “If we start teaching kids about equality and respect when they are 5 or 6 years old --" And what does this BS SJW propaganda have to do with porn? It's just a way for people to get off.

And how do we give kids the mental tools to understand the difference between porn and real relationships/sex, and at roughly what stage of development? That's what I want to see research on, personally. Blocking porn isn't going to help; learning how to teach kids to successfully maintain a concrete barrier between porn and the real world is.

I've seen plenty of assertions that porn is a special case for which the general lesson doesn't suffice, but never yet run across a supporting argument which didn't reduce to "well, because genitals are involved." Which, I mean, I understand why that would seem to an ape like a sensible thing to say, if an ape could talk, which we can. But I'm curious to know whether anyone has a genuinely novel argument to make in defense of the proposition.
