Why stop people from viewing porn, if they want to? Much of today's porn is aimed at heterosexual men and presents a totally wrong idea of what women like. When teenage men believe this, they can get twisted. When they practice out what they have learned from this, they can make women very unhappy.

Leading them to porn showing sexual practices that various real teenage women really do enjoy would solve this problem in a better way. (This does not require real teenage actors, or even real human actors.) Why replace bad education with no education? Replace it with good education.
