This was bound to happen, and it’s ridiculous

Josh Lane was addicted to porn by 14-years-old after first finding it via a Google search when he was aged 12.

Now 25 and happily married.

Wow. Porn really destroyed this mans life. What a tragic tale.

If jacking off constantly at age 14 doomed a person we would never have left the Miocene epoch.

Tho not so prevelant in this current timeline with internet access, there is a global phenomenon that most little boys can attest to. When we were growing up, there was forest porn. No one knew how it got there. No one claimed it. But in every town, county, village, city, et al, there were some woods with forest porn.

I do not condone children viewing porn because they are not mentally or emotionally ready for that. However, I do know it exists and gosh, it seems to me that some proper parenting skills would solve a lot of problems.

Forest porn was absolute roided out boomer oriented garbage. Worst slop you've seen a billion times.

On the other hand, the early videos with the old Lady teaching 13yr old me how to eat someone out and anatomy were better sex ed than school and "the talk"(didn't happen lol) combined.

We would have gone extinct before we discovered fire.

He told Newsnight the addiction caused him to isolate himself from friends and family because he was "afraid of anyone discovering that I was hooked."

Mr Lane described finding "the only place I could get, I guess, love and intimacy was from pornography" at the same time as feeling "heaps of guilt and shame"

The problem seems to have more to do with lack of proper sex education and social pressure rather than pornography. Why did he have to feel so ashamed that he isolated himself? That's a real issue here!

It's not like it can't happen, i also found porn very early on. I got addicted and it ruined my early sex life. Real women weren't "exciting" anymore and I'd lost my sensitivity as well.

This is NOT the solution but it's also not not an issue
