NC for this trivial question that came up as part of a discussion with friends. I've NEVER watched porn, and I was the only person in the discussion (all female friends) that had never done so.

YABU: I've watched porn. I expect most women have at some point
YANBU: I've never watched porn either. You are not unusual

I'd expect that most people (both male and female) will have looked at it out of curiosity and exploring during teenage years? I know I did.

As I grew older, and had more world/life experience, I'm increasingly concerned about the negative impact it can have on young girls. Anything I've read about the industry is appalling.

Exactly this.

To give some background. I grew up in a conservative/traditional farming family. As a result it is something I felt was "wrong" (for me personally).
