Research hasn’t included the Porn Fairy in the local woods
The other half is lying
So what? I saw and consumed pornography while about 14-15. But I have healthy relationships because I undersood that it was porn, that it was a private thing. That this wasn’t how sex and relationships should be. It’s not the age thats the problem it’s the understanding of what it is and proper sex education is key.
Only half?? Thats quite good, when I was 14 most people had seen porn
Is that it?
Honestly thought it would be higher tbf
Poll also finds that half of under 30s lie to polls about pornography habits.
Don’t know how good they have it. I had to rely on the odd battered old porn mag found abandoned in the street.
The book ‘Your Brain on Porn’ by Gary Wilson is worth reading. He died recently but did some very important work in his time

The early days of Channel 5 were a good bridge between the days of porn mags in the bushes and seeing hardcore porn on the internet.
They always showed soft-core movies late on a Friday and Saturday with Shannon Tweed or Shannon Whirry (usually one of those two…) which I’d record on VHS.
They also, importantly, had documentaries about the porn industry. When you’re a teenager and you have female and male pornstars, producers etc saying “this isn’t real”, or “we also get consent before doing x, y, z” and you take it on board.
I’m in my 50’s we passed print porn around the schoolyard.
Shame the youth of today won’t ever find a wild escort or razzle stashed safely in a bush.
I was looking at porn when all I had was dialup, waiting a month to download a vid on kazaa or 10 mins to get a single image.
The pre- internet generations have *no idea* how immediately and overnight it changed the pornography game.
And the other half are lying.
For the over 30s there were jazz mags in the woods (who put them there? Why were they always in good condition?)
Weird how these made to order studies always come out around the same time that government is proposing internet age restrictions as some kind of dead cat to distract from BJ’s BJ or similar.
The other half lied.
90% of Britons under 20 have seen porn underage, the internet moves fast.
In other news, grass = green
As someone from the dial up age, yeah 14 year old me found bbs sharing pictures…
I very much consider myself “the, canary in the mine” in the early days of the Internet. 13 yeat old me should definitely NOT have had his own PC in his bedroom with no supervision…
But – I am now a highly paid DevOps consultant.
Look, parents of this.. Whatever… Generation, It’s really easy to deal wirh your kids growing up in a digital world… Fucking talk to your children!
There are no technical solutions to this. Parents actually have to parent.
It is not on us as tech engineers, nor should it be on the government to restrict things – iff you have children you actually have to look after you kids, not sit them down in front of an ipad because it keeps them quiet.
The sun is out, give the kids a ball and MAKE them go outside and play. The horrors of social media only exsist if you permit it.
Be parents. Fuck sake.
Mps watch it while making our laws in Parliament making it all very cultural
And? I’d be more concerned if teenagers weren’t consuming pornography. Just because you’re a prude doesn’t mean we should be shocked about people going through puberty having normal experiences
I know it’s not really cool to talk a bit and people act like you’re a fundamentalist for saying it but really is worrying that kids are getting exposed to more extreme porn at younger ages and for many of them it’s their first introduction to sex ed
I know people look at you like you’re a fundamentalist for criticising porn but it really is worrying that kids are getting exposed to more extreme stuff at younger ages, and for many of them it’s their first introduction to sex/sex ed
Half my ass… by age 10, all kids will have seen porn in one shape or another. It was true when I was a kid, it’s true now.
In another poll, half of Brits under 30 are terrible liars.
Every teenager I knew in 1980s had seen pornography while underage.
Technology has changed, puberty hasn’t.
Pol finds most under 30 lie. /S
It was probably even higher when I was a young lad in the pre-internet days. There would always be someone’s dad or older brothers who had a stash of porn mags hidden somewhere that one of your mates would borrow the occasional one from.
Most people are fucking at 14/15 anyways what’s the problem
And it did them no harm. Let’s finally, please, move on as a society.
I’m guessing due to it being pushed online and not porn Mags in park hedges people are getting older before looking for it. I saw porn way too young!
The good old days of exotica erotica on live TV and dad’s fiesta’s under the bed.
I bet most porn produced now is self made by teens under 18 ? Snapchat or whatever ? When I was a teen 15ish it was sexting via a Nokia3210 with a limit of 30 characters or something.
