Teens Viewing Porn: “It’s not the Third World War”

The sky is not fallin’! The downfall of society is not at hand!

The kids aren’t going to be irreversibly, permanently damaged by porn!

It is so refreshing to see some research that suggests that a person’s response and reaction to porn is, at least in part (I’m guessing in huge part), dependent on that person’s actual personality and not as much what they are viewing.

Of course, it is still important to talk to kids about porn, what they might see and to maintain a dialogue about what they think about it. But remember, kids are growing and are fairly elastic. Different forces might push and pull, but the general shape can remain.
