My ex exposed our kids to porn and it seriously messed with one of them. More than a year of counselling and they were still never the same. Only took until adulthood that they could really process it. Some kids I would imagine may unalive themselves over it if the level of depression and anxiety my kid went through is anything to go by.
I’m also a child sexual abuse survivor and was also exposed to porn as a kid and had issues because of it. It also took until adulthood for me to work through my sexual trauma and come to a place of mostly peace. But I am not likely to ever be 100% (even with the therapy I’ve had).
Porn has only gotten more extreme over time with some seriously fucked up shit.
So no, they may not survive and if they do, they don’t always come out of it mentally unscathed.
Porn exposure to kids is a form of sexual abuse and should be taken just as seriously.
I’m going to need more details. Everyone saw it as a kid. Like wtf were these people seeing that caused trauma? I could see ut being traumatizing if maybe it was CSAM or something.
Sure I’ll bite about what was a fucking awful time in our lives. I don’t know they saw because my kid was so traumatised they were unable to speak specifics. But they were able to draw some of it which I am not going to put in detail here for what should be obvious reasons. But it wasn’t vanilla that’s for sure. To adults, I’m sure it would be fine. To a kid it would look like violent abuse.
But hey, what would a fucking child abuse survivor and parent of a a kid who also suffered abuse know. Ffs, I thought I escaped Reddits gas lighting of abuse survivors and ignorance of academic studies which show the same.

Oh please stop that. We are not Tiktok here.
And it depends on the kid, the kind of porn they see (bdsm, skat) and how enlightened the kid is, that porn is not like reality.
