Girls/Guys? What age did you first start looking at porn, and did it encourage.... ?

At what age did you first start looking at porn, and did it encourage you to want to start with doing real sex stuff at a younger age and helping you do it all better, or did it just help you do better at whatever age you did get started since watching porn wasn't what got you started, or do you think watching porn had absolutely no effect on you? Or don't you watch it at all? Can watching porn actually help the sexual part of a relationship, or will the outcome more than likely only be the opposite?

  • I started watching when I was 12 or 13.

    I'm 16 and still a virgin by choice to this day.

    But,i think personally for me,if anything,porn taught me to be open minded about sex,and well,i'm not completely clueless about sex.I'm not prudish about sex nor am I naive or all Anti-sex.That being said,it does not mean I'm giving it away either

    Watching sex and engaging in sex are two different things thought,so keep that in mind.Will it help me be better?I will know more than the basics but of course,practice makes perfect and communication with my partner(i'm single now so of course not at this point) would help me be better.

    I think sex can either harm,help or do nothing to a relationship.Everyone has different views on porn and as long as both partners share the same views on porn or can compromise,then it should not affect the relationship negatively.For me,I would have no problems with my boyfriend watching it,seeing as how I watch it,and I would watch it with him actually,to me,i think it would spice up the sex life and allow you to try different and new things.

    Does it encourage me,I would like to try it[says my hormones] But my heart and mind tell me I am not mature enough or ready to have sex.But guess what?I have two perfectly working hands and all 10 fingers,so I masturbate instead.OH YEA!Also,Porn helped me with masturbation,i knew what it was,but didn't know HOW to do it,but now I do.That's also how I learned more about the female anatomy

  • I started watching it when I was, like, twelve or thirteen, and, I guess it probably did make me more interested in sex than I would have been had I not seen it. I don't know if it made me better, but I did have a better idea of how to f*** then most people my age probably would have.

    Watching porn can be helpful, harmful, or neutral to a relationship, depending on how much its watched and what kind of porn it is.

    If it's horribly perverted and sick stuff, and one person isn't interested in watching it, it could probably destroy a relationship, for example.

    • Thank you for your own personal experiences. I totally agree with you that it can be good and helpful, yet also harmful depending on what kind of porn is being watched. So true! I also agree that in a relationship they should both watch it or both don't. You really gave me and the readers here something to think about. Thanks again!

    • I totally agree too... and that this was the best answer!

    • Thank you for Best Answer. :)

  • I started viewing porn at about 13, I don't think it affected when I lost my virginity, that was more social/peer pressure. But it did make me able to pretend I wasn't a virgin when the time did come, which isn't a good thing. But yes I think overall as far as sex goes it helped me surpass most of the possible learning curve by helping me understand how things work, and pleasure works, and things I can do...

    • I like your experiences and thank you for sharing them. They're very interesting and so like what I figured, so thank you so much!

  • i first saw porn when I was like 12 or 13 and I was in a hotel room flipping through the TV channels real late at night when everybody was sleeping and that's what came on...the Playboy channel to be exact. I stayed up for hours and watched it...it was interesting. like I new what sex was but I never actually seen it before. it did encourage me to become more interested in sexual stuff. I researched it and found out all I couldn't about it and everything about it. around that time is when I started masturbating and it helped get me ready all through my teenage years when it came to peer pressure and things like that and even got me ready for the day I lost my virginity too. :) it helped me to become sexually "experienced" without having done it before. :)

  • 3rd grade regret it ever since

  • I was really young. I was like 6. I was watching all kinds of porn. Lesbian, rough, girl/guy. I got interested in sex at age 8

  • 20

  • I first started looking thru magazines around age 12. I was curious. The actual movie watching was done around age 15. I think it can be educational to watch, I am yet to lose my Virginity and consider porn a learning tool I guess. I rather know than go walking into the unknown.

    • It's worked real good for you. Good points.Thanks!
