Despite your statement, I've had plenty of true, meaningful relationships, mostly because I don't start them with people who aren't as true about them as myself, and by my posts here, I think you'll notice that I'm not too near the "normal" ignorant childhood tree.

Also, I am 17, but the fact that "18+ only" doesn't stop ANYONE, especially those who seek it. I won't confirm or deny my involvement with internet-distributed pornography, but I don't see it as a problem, personally. If a child can view pornography since age 12 and still be okay, all the power to them, some do it nowadays. I've once had CyberPatrol, CyberSitter, NetNanny, and many others installed on my computer by parental types, none of which were difficult to disable with even minimal hack-like skill, I've been programming and teching since elementary school days, so I'm not unfamiliar with how to disable these types of programs.

Anyway, good responses from some of you, all it takes is knowledge overall to make a better judgment, not reading someone else's opinion and accepting it as your own.


EDIT: Sorry, Anime, that I didn't answer your question. I do believe it's an acceptable personal choice for either party to view pornography, no matter the relationship status, whether or not the parter agrees with it/finds out about it is between them. If you are caught lying about the topic, you're most likely to get their opinionated response, whether it be okay, negative faction, or even watching it together. I prefer a don't-ask-don't-tell style for that issue, although if someone confides to me they partake in that activity, I will understand and accept it as their own personal choice, I can't make any other than that for them, I can't personally get angry over someone's personal decisions. I can give my opinion and share my initial emotional response, but I believe I'm a more reasonable person in the realm of personal decision-making.
