as we all know, porn has a lot of faces so to speak. If you are talking about the type of porn thats just plain sex or a little bit of kink, then no, I do not believe it is harmful in any way to kids under 18. For gods sake, I was sneaking porn when i was 12 from my older brothers room (the days before the internet). But you have to admit the more extreme fetish type sites can be used as justification for some really bad behaivoir by some who have a few mental issues to start with.

I do believe however that the industry has to take some sort of responsibility in at least doing something to try and counteract minors gaining access to porn. Remember that people opposed to porn believe what they want to and no amount of arguing to try and prove them wrong is going to change their minds. Religion, politics and people basic human emotions play a huge part in what people will believe. theres nothing wrong with coming up with some sort of safeguards to stop kids viewing porn.

I dont think the question should be 'is porn harmful to young kids minds' but more to the point ' is there anything that the adult industry can do that will make these opposers of porn happy'? The answer to that is NO! There is no simple cut and dry answer here because it is a far bigger issue because religion and politics are involved. Add those two to any problem and you are rooted!!
