yesterday my friend told me a secret (shes 14/f and im 13/f) she said she watches porn. is that when people watch other people have sex? what does it mean when a girl watches that? should i let her keep watching it? (link)
Well, it would probably be best if she didn't watch porn all that much. Porn is basically movies and pictures of people having sex, but the important thing to remember about it is that it's fantasy, not reality. Porn isn't about real sex any more than Indiana Jones is about archaeology. It's idealized, and choreographed, and heavily photoshopped - it is NOT realistic. Thinking that real sex is like porn is kind of like thinking that high school involves spontaneous song and dance numbers, just because High School Musical depicts it that way.

What it means that she watches it is that she's curious. Unfortunately, we live in a society where porn is the most readily available source of information about sex, even though it's distorted.

Insofar as whether you should let her keep watching it, there's probably not a great deal you could do to stop her. You could tell her parents, I suppose, but don't expect her to consider you a friend anymore after that. I suggest you let it slide. It's not the worst thing she could be doing.

thank you, it really helped(: she told me to keep it a secret so I guess ill keep it that way. Ill for sure educate her on this and hope she will stop or at least cut back! Thanks again!
