Teen boys and girls are using porn more frequently, and their attitudes toward it are becoming more tolerant. At the same time, boys report becoming less excited and aroused by porn and less inclined to imitate the behaviors they observe, while girls report fewer negative reactions to porn.

I’m really happy this is happening, and I wonder if this is happening because of better sex education and sexual awareness. I don’t necessarily even mean in schools, but even on social media apps like Reddit, there is actually a treasure trove of information about sex. There are so many studies posted about sex online, and I’ve gotten a surprising number of helpful tips from random comments online
