Q: How much would watching a porn video affect a 10 year old girl in the future? Would it possibly mess up future romantic relationships or else cause some other psychological effects?
Holy moly, someone on this site actually answered your question appropriately.

I agree completely.

However, there's still hope. If this is your little girl, or your little sister, you need to talk to her about this right away.

Explain to her that what she saw isn't reality. That porn is degrading to BOTH sexes, and that it isn't "the norm". Ask her questions about it. Ask her what she thought when she saw what she did, and try to set her straight (gently).

Make sure this girl grows up with a healthy self-image.

EDIT:

The above still applies. Write a letter to that little girl. Let yourself explore what you think about what you saw, and remind yourself that it has nothing to do with you.

Everything will be fine, I assure you.

Just work on that healthy self-image, and your self-worth, and don't worry about relationships right now -- you're young. Take time to live life, and don't let it revolve around seeing something that wasn't real.

This little girl is me. I am 16 years old now and I find myself running away from romantic relationships. I have all these ideals about how things should be, and I had a really sweet boyfriend who I broke up with because I kept running away from him. I have never had sex with anyone and I am deathly afraid of it. I want someone to love me but I can't let them because I think that deep down I don't even love myself. And it's all my fault for watching the stupid video.
