Actually my dislike for porn has nothing to do with judgements about sex and morality. Personally I don't see any reason why we should be sex-phobic at all. I'm not in for sex only after marriage, staying a virgin and all that. And I totally agree that teens are into sex, why would they not be? Especially when it's a major turning point in life.

I'm coming from personal experience here when I say it's not a very satisfying focus to have in life. The time in my life when I was largely focused on sex and porn was a part of that was the time when I was least happy. Purely from the point of view that my relationships were based on sex alone and my partners while a match in that department had other less savoury habits that I found out about later and regretted.

I'm all for sex, even any flavour of it that you personally want, but that alone is a bit hollow and can have a strong emotional impact that isn't very positive. I didn't say I agreed with parents being porn-phobic just that I understood the intention beind it.
