Anddddd in other news.... RIP online porn in the UK.

Completely ridiculous in my opinion. Although I'm not really arguing the merits of porn the idea that people get a skewed view of sex as a result of watching it is yet to be proven in any scientific way. With a proper upbringing (you know, that thing you're supposed to be giving your kids instead of blaming all their problems on society), any clear-minded individual (even a child) can learn to sort the data he receives so that he can enjoy certain things in a vicarious way and other things not.

I do not think that children are really "learning" anything about sex from porn apart from certain techniques I guess, which people have been doing long before the internet. And even if you do consider the sex that goes on in pornography to be inappropriate, everybody else is going to learn it the same way and you get a generation of people who are more open to experimentation sexually. It doesn't mean that people who watch porn are going to objectify women.

If anybody can present some hard scientific evidence proving that I'll eat my words. Anyway, I don't agree with this decision because I don't believe in restricting access to information, but I'm curious to see how this pans out.
