Seconded in all respects. I think I'm brave enough to go fully on the record about my perspective on this at this point.
Much of - probably a majority of - the "harm" we attribute to "porn exposure" is actually a consequence of the cultural and moral segregation and fetishization of erotic content as taboo. While concerns about decontextualized depictions of fantasy fetish content and stereotyping are probably valid in many respects, the solution to this is education rather than counterproductive prohibition, and even were that not the case; these harms are almost certainly massively outweighed by the impact of trying to enforce that prohibition.
Much as the child with the bruised knee often only starts themselves crying when their parents begin to fuss, we are making "exposure to erotic content" a learned trauma for younger generations in an entirely arbitrary manner, and the framing of media that is almost definitionally designed to be appealing and fascinating to a sexually maturing brain as intrinsically evil, dirty and wrong is almost certainly fucking us all up psychologically in deep, horrific ways that we're probably too deeply immersed in to fully understand and contemplate. We do not need to feel this way about sex. Nobody needs to be scared of it. These are attitudes that were taught to us, one way or another.
(And, in cases where people have received more direct sexual trauma, a slackening of taboo and shame would make such instances far more easy to report, identify and prevent, and easier to subsequently psychologically process!).
It has been pointed out that in western culture we much more readily expose young people to lurid, graphic content in the form of depictions of violence and gore. If anything that should have more potential to be intrinsically upsetting and traumatizing, given that despite what some conservative minds seem to believe, murder is in fact a worse thing to happen to a person than sex. And yet we hand wring on behalf of our teenagers a hell of a lot less, and to be frank I feel like they're a hell of a lot better off for it. Perhaps the way we currently treat non-sexual graphic media paints a picture of what the world might look like if we stopped making such a big deal out of sexual content specifically, and when you think about it that way it's almost immediately clear how unimaginably more healthy we'd all be without the societal neurosis.
