from my perspective, I see a lack of acceptance and understanding of human sexuality in our society at the root of this. our bodies are beautiful, sex is a beautiful thing. why the hell are we so embarrassed?
kids are going to look at porn. twice now i've reformatted my best friend's home pc because her 13 year old son is looking up boobies as soon as their backs are turned and fouls up the machine. my little brother looked at my dad's playboys. i looked at my dad's playboys. we were young enough that it wasn't a turn on so much as curiosity about the human body that we are so careful to hide.
as for gay porn... what's the difference? that YOU don't like it? it doesn't turn YOU on? the thought of it makes you uncomfortable? give me a break. homophobia is so overrated.
should 7 year olds be exposed to porn? of course not. but if your little man or little woman is growing hair where there wasn't any before, menstruating, or showing the signs of puberty, it's time to loosen the reigns a bit, let them understand sex and sexuality in an educational, comfortable environment, not one filled with shame and ignorance.

You miss the point, as have others. The "porn" you looked at in your daddy's playboys are not representative of the "porn" kids can see on the internet today. Homophobia is not the issue. Those are lables people like to throw around to sack everyone together when someone disagrees with anothers views. Lots of generalizations are being tossed about.
