  1. Can anyone please say the problems of watching porn before the age of 18?

    One of those problems is an erroneous view of sex. Porn shows it as merely physical and completely leaves out the love and intimacy. Also, when you find someone and have sex, you might have early ED because of the preconception of what to expect out of sex. Porn isn't real at all. I think for boys, it gives the idea that sex is aggressive and it doesn't have to be. Most girls and women like intimacy, love, respect, connection. None of this is represented by porn. It also doesn't talk about consent which is vital for any sexual encounter.

    One big issue is that under 18 your brain is more "plastic" and you tend to be much more affected by what you see/learn. Porn is a terrible view on human sexuality that create tons of problems. I watch porn since I was 10-11 and I know I developped weird fetishes because of the first type of porn I saw at that age. I really hate those fetishes and wish they disappeared entirely.

    In a way I was really lucky that I didn't get my first laptop until I was 18. Highspeed internet really began to take off in 2006. I was 15 in 2006. I had smartphones back then. But from what I remember even the smartphones were crap back then. I don't remember viewing much, if any porn on a smartphone back then. When I was 18 I got my first laptop, which was 2009. I then very quickly discovered all the porn and artificial sexual stimulation on high speed internet and then more or less went in to a PMO binge that lasted nearly a decade.

    But yeah before this I basically never viewed porn or artificial sexual stimulation. I had only really seen it a handful of times before I was 18. I always just used my imagination when I was masturbating, from about the age of 11 until the age of 18.

    Does this really make a big difference? That I didn't begin engaging in this behaviour on high speed internet until I was 18? As apposed to beginning the behaviour much younger?

    Well from someone that is younger than 18, I think porn really affects how you perceive the word 'love'. In porn 'love' just reflects what sex looks like. But love is much more than that. Much much more. And I think that porn just ruins the way how kids view the meaning of love.

    Ruined my relationships with girls for my whole adolescence. Made me objectify them rather than learning how to be friends. I wish I'd never seen porn... -_- Not that, that guarantees that I wouldn't objectify them anyways but I think it definitely made it worse.

    I will tell you by my experience.
    1) You will start getting addicted to it more easily as your brain is still developing.
    2) Motivation loss. Which might worsen your grades.
    3) Concentration loss due to addiction.
    4) Guilt and anger after each session.

    I haven't watched much p@#n vids, my problem was h#^!ai Mangas and games.

    For a guy who does not practice PMO in high school, it is a great advantage to have the best years of his life. Unfortunately, most of us find out that this vice destroys our lives only after we finish high school, and time cannot be turned back. And yes, in highschool I was a wanksta.
