To all the young girls out there

I tried making a post discussing the effects porn has on young girls who view it, specifically from my perspective as one of them, but I think it was too detailed and graphic. So I just want to say this:

Girls, please don’t watch porn. It messes with your mind and it hurts your self worth in so many ways. I can’t watch any type of sex scene in movies or TV shows now without having violent reactions to it. I understand being curious about sex, but looking at porn is never going to give you the right answers (you can ask me anything if you have no one else you feel you can ask about it). The pressure to be able to keep up with guys when they talk about sex or porn is awful now days, but it will hurt you more to try. You don’t need to have sex, be with a man, like any specific sex act or anything like that. I truly believe at this point that BDSM is self harm for most women and if you’re interested in that, please question yourself why. You’re all wonderful and you have so much going for you. You’re funny and talented and emotional and smart and caring. Please don’t force yourself into needing men’s attention and validation. You’re perfect just the way you are. So please, don’t watch porn.
