  • largest group of viewers of online pornography is children between the ages of 12 and 17.
  • Among 15-to-17-year-olds, 80 percent have been exposed to hardcore pornography multiple times.
  • One danger is that young people who are exposed to pornographic images at a formative stage of their growth as sexual beings will often come to see sexuality as completely disconnected from relationships, and certainly from any spiritual context
  • Pornographic images, according to Manning and other mental health professionals, can have a lasting negative and even traumatic impact on the brain and the psychological well-being of children and adolescents.
  • Young viewers of pornography are statistically more likely to engage in sexual intercourse at an earlier age than their unexposed peers.
  • So exposure to unhealthy sexual norms in the form of pornography has the potential to permanently imprint sexual deviance on a child’s brain.
  • A British study found that searches for 26 popular children’s character names such as “Pokemon” and “My Little Pony” led to thousands of links to porn sites.
