Children and teenagers who are exposed to pornography online are more likely to develop an addiction to smut than adults, according to researchers.
Teens young brains are “more wired for pleasure and so are more susceptible to fall prey to porn addiction because their brains release higher dosages of dopamine, the neurotransmitter that is associated with pleasurable feelings, The Wall Street Journal reported .
Sexual activity is known to stimulate the brain by releasing an excess dose of dopamine. In young people whose brains are particularly sensitive to overstimulation, exposure to porn could lead the brain to seek out the pleasurable dose in a compulsive manner.
Researchers have also found that repeated exposure to pornography makes whose who are “predisposed toward aggressive sexual behavior” more than four times more likely to display greater levels of sexual violence than their peers who consumed porn less frequently.
Another major study also found that young men who reported compulsive consumption of pornography had brain activity that mirrored those of drug addicts who were shown photographs of narcotics.
Meanwhile, a separate study found that some 42% of kids between the ages of 10 and 17 will have been exposed to pornographic material sometime during the previous 12 months.
Researchers warn that this prolonged exposure to pornography at such a young age could distort teens’ views on sex.
Billie Eilish, the 20-year-old Grammy Award-winning singer, has said that he believes a porn habit that he first developed at the age of 11 has “destroyed my brain.”
“I think porn is a disgrace. I used to watch a lot of porn, to be honest. I started watching porn when I was, like, 11,” Eilish told Howard Stern of SiriusXM Radio last year.
Eilish also admitted that she began watching more and more graphic types of pornography, which warped her ideas about sex and relationships.
“It got to a point where I couldn’t watch anything else unless it was violent, I didn’t think it was attractive,” she confessed.
Experts warn that parents and educators should refrain from inducing guilt or shame in teens by scolding them for watching porn.
A survey conducted by Los Angeles-based psychologist Nicole Prause found that nearly one in three young adult men who took part in a porn-abstinence program reported feeling suicidal after relapsing.
“If we shut down conversations and say, ‘Don’t watch porn, and if you do, it’s an addiction and it will rot your brain,’ that’s terrifying,” Prause told the Journal.
“It’s some of the messaging that’s making it worse.”
Experts recommend that parents filter explicit content on their kids’ devices. Apple offers a “Content and Privacy Restrictions” option in the “Screen Time” section of the settings menu on iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touch devices.
This allows parents to block “adult websites” from the devices.
Android-operated devices also offer content restrictions that can be activated by going to the Google Play Store and selecting “Parental controls.”

They’re one of its biggest consumers. They’re watching it in their own homes. They’re reporting that “conventional hardcore” is their main preference.
Porn is proliferating, and children under the age of 18 have become one of its biggest consumers. Most of them have viewed it by the age of 11.
Understandably, parents have become angry, alarmed and worried, because it's so easy for their children to access pornography.
But what is the reality of teen's exposure, experience and consumption of porn? What do girls and boys think about their experience?
A few studies have made some surprising findings about how young people are affected by porn and offer insight as to how parents should go about broaching the subject with teens.
One study, conducted at Malmö University in Sweden and published in 2006, answers many of the questions parents have about youth porn consumption. It is based on conversations with 73 Swedish youth, ages 14 to 20, about their experiences with and perceptions of porn.
Not surprisingly, teens and young adults think they are continuously exposed to sexually explicit images and messages, and not just on the Internet, but in everyday life situations. All of them reported having come into contact with porn, either voluntarily seeking it out or involuntarily being subjected to it.
As found in other Scandinavian studies, significantly more boys than girls are active porn consumers. Boys are more positive in their general attitude about porn; girls consume more porn as they get older, although still much less than boys. Studies also found that girls tend to watch porn with someone they are involved with.
Older girls tend to become more positive about porn, but are most critical of it. Girls feel much more ambivalent about porn than boys, finding it arousing, thrilling and intriguing, while more disgusting and offensive. They struggle with the fact that “everybody watches it,” yet the enticing materials evoke conflicting emotions about the taboo and dangerous.
While sizing up youth porn consumption, investigators found three main uses for it:
1. It’s a form of social interaction between viewers. Youth who observe porn together end up gauging their reactions as compared to others. Viewers create a norm as far as what’s “normal” or “deviant” via information that’s communicated, such as comments, laughs, jokes and sighs.
2. It’s a “reliable” information source. Youth learn new things from porn -- for example, tips on different positions. Yet they are processing this information critically, comparing it to life experiences and information from other sources. Young people are able to evaluate the materials as overstated, distorted or incorrect. The ultimate reaction: They tune out or distance themselves from the source.
3. It’s an inspiration for sexual excitement. For boys, interest in porn grows less as they get older and have their own sexual experiences. They actually become more critical and negative about porn with age. Porn for them becomes something more for stimulation and ideas than a source of information or socializing.
Another 2006 study, which examined the porn perceptions of 1,776 Danish, Norwegian, and Fenno-Swedish 12- to 20-year-olds, had interesting findings as well.
These researchers found that boys are more likely to attach desire to the use of porn, whereas girls do it more out of curiosity or “for the fun of it.” Half of the participants, mostly boys, thought that porn could improve their lives. One-third of them, the majority of whom were girls, thought porn could damage their sex lives.
Girls further reported that porn made them feel inadequate about their bodies or resulted in performance anxiety. Boys were likelier to say they were not affected by porn at all.
Hardly any of the participants considered the pornography actors as celebrities, but rather as “cheap” and “ridiculous.” Many said that porn should not be banned, but regulated.
Overall, both genders think that porn:
— Shows how sex can be practiced in a number of ways;
Depending on your thoughts about youth porn consumption prior to reading this article, you’re either slightly relieved or panicked and depressed. In either case, if you’re guiding a young person into their adult years, this is a matter that needs to be addressed. Take the time to learn about their thoughts on porn. Use this article as an opportunity to have a discussion.
Let your thoughts and values be known without preaching. Sit down and figure out together how you can control exposure to sexually explicit imagery in your home. Talk about the appropriateness of such materials on a personal, relational, social and societal level.
And remember: Give your children credit for their perspectives. It appears they are doing as good a job processing a pornified culture as the rest of us.

Kids and sexual content online -- how will pornography influence behaviour when they get older?
My friend Cindy* called me in a panic. One of her neighbours had just knocked on her door, absolutely furious. Apparently my friend’s 12-year-old son, Adam, and the neighbour’s son had been playing on the computer in Cindy’s basement — as they often did.
This time, however, the boys had checked out a porn site — whether accidentally or on purpose, Cindy wasn’t sure. The neighbour’s boy went home and asked his mother about something he and Adam had seen. A short time later, his mother was angrily confronting Cindy.
Your teen is likely seeing pornography as well. And it’s likely a lot more explicit than anything you may have encountered at his age.
A generation ago, most boys glanced through magazines pilfered from older brothers’ rooms or relied on the underwear pages of the Sears catalogue when they wanted to check out female bodies. But that’s changed.
A study of kids, media and pornography
Sonya Thompson was a University of Alberta graduate student who was training sex education teachers when she realized there was no research on young teens and their access to and use of pornography. So Thompson decided to conduct her own study. She recruited more than 400 grade-eight students from various parts of Alberta and had them complete an anonymous survey about things they’d seen in various forms of media. Here’s what she learned:
• Most of the kids in the study (88 percent of the boys and 72 percent of the girls) had seen porn on the Internet, and the majority had watched pornographic DVDs as well. A smaller percentage had watched porn on digital or satellite TV.
• A higher percentage of rural children had seen pornography than those in urban centres, and they tended to see more.
• Significant gender differences came up in the study. Boys tended to seek out porn and often watched it alone. Girls were more likely to come across porn accidentally on the Internet; if they did seek it out, they usually watched it with other girls.
• While the majority of boys watched porn alone, a smaller percentage of boys tended to get together with other male friends for the purpose of watching porn.
• More than a third of the boys said they had seen porn “too many times to count.” Only eight percent of girls gave this response.
Even when parents were careful to restrict their children’s access to TV and the Internet, Thompson reports that teens were able to access porno-graphy at the homes of friends. She also points out that teenagers are often the most computer-savvy people in their households, so even when parents put blocking software on their computers, teens can figure out how to override it.
A better solution, according to Thompson, is to recognize that they are probably going to see it, and start talking. “Teens need to know that pornography is no more ‘real’ than WWF wrestling,” she says. “Teens need help in understanding that it is theatrical, that the people are paid actors, that it tends to be very extreme.” She’s also concerned about the lack of safe sex practices shown: “You never see a condom.”
She adds that it worries her that more than a third of boys seem to be watching quite a lot of pornography. “How will this influence their behaviour when they get a bit older and start dating girls?” she asks.
Teens and parents rarely watch television or use the Internet together, Thompson found. Just as happened with my friend Cindy, teens often have computers or TVs (or both) in their rooms or in another room separate from where the parents are. Yes, it seems convenient when your child wants a quiet setting to do research or write essays on the computer, but it also makes it easier to access inappropriate materials. Thompson’s study found that only 16 percent of the teens reported any monitoring of their Internet use, but almost half had some discussion with their parents about pornography. That’s good news because she also found a definite correlation between these discussions and lower levels of interest in sexually explicit media.
My friend’s first move — after calming down her neighbour — was to get the computer out of the basement and into the family room, where Cindy could keep an eye on how it was being used. And she had a serious talk with Adam about appropriate websites.
“I’d encourage parents to go online and see what their children are able to easily access,” Thompson adds. “I think many will be a bit shocked to realize what’s out there. Our kids are growing up in a highly sexualized environment, and they really need their parents’ help to get through it.”
