if your sex education is pornography, you're going to have a really hard time navigating an actual sexual relationship.
We can't find evidence that holds up here. Proponents are reasoning from mechanism or analogy rather than direct human data, and the most credible skeptics raise objections we can't dismiss.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.

Um, women's sexuality is complex. It's the anatomy you cannot see as well as you can see with men. Just sort of the nature of the fact that, you know, when a bunch of boys are in a locker room, they can see other boys anatomy. They see the differences. They understand that that's healthy. Women don't often see other, you know, girls don't often see other girls vaginas um as clearly as as, you know, boys see other penises. And so normalizing through, you know, the the labia, you know, library and and realizing what's normal and understanding the clitoreral nerve for for both boys and girls, thinking about safe ways to sort of explore intimacy. If you don't provide them withformational content such as, you know, OMG, yes, and and teaching them about how to explore their anatomy, they will turn to porn. Um and we have great data that almost all of the porn is not healthy um for uh teens in terms of setting expectations that are unrealistic um both anatomical and sort of describing you know penetrative penis and vagina sex as the way that women have like screaming orgasms. That's just not accurate. And so it set expect sets expectations for encounters that are just not obtainable and leads to you know disappointment and um self-confidence issues.
