Re: porn at my age
Hi mika.m,
So, there's nothing inherently bad about consuming porn or other sexual media, or about creating it. And in our teens, it's very common to start being curious about it and whether or not we'd enjoy it. If you're curious, I think this article offers some really good information on the things to keep in mind when/if we choose to consume sexual media: Making Sense of Sexual Media

Re: porn at my age
I've heard about ethical porn so many times, is it really educational or not?

Re: porn at my age
That depends on what we mean by "educational." Sexual media, even ethically made sexual media, is still meant for sexual entertainment rather than for teaching people about things like consent, birth control, etc (though some of it certainly includes education about those things, or accurate representations of them). And because it's designed for entertainment, it may not reflect the reality of bodies, sexual experiences, and so on. This article is a great place for learning more about that: https://www.scarleteen.com/article/poli ... n_part_one
The ways in which sexual media can be educational is that it can offer us information on our own sexual desires and fantasies or, at the very least, what kinds of things we find arousing, which is useful information to have.
