but explain why porn isn't great for your mental health

What, it isn't?

I don't know if that part is true, but watching porn as a teen can give you some very unrealistic ideas about sex. Kids will watch porn whether people like it or not, so they need to know that porn is fantasy, not reality.

I'm not a smart man by any stretch, but I always assumed growing up that it was just fantasy, so never expected those same things to happen in a real situation with a significant other. I'm surprised people took it so literally, but I can't say I'm 100% shocked either.

Watching porn 24/7 isn’t great for your mental health.

And watching too much porn can mess with body image and normalize sexual violence, because younger people are looking for any clue as to how the world works and have a harder time separating fantasy and reality than adults.

I like porn, but I don’t think it’s healthy for young teens. Just like weed.
