if you have the good sense to realize your stupidity, why can you not understand that you are wrong?

A mother doesn't even know what a prefrontal cortex is and a child was born from her desire for pleasure in the first place so so wouldn't even care if it went down such a wayward path. She gives no thought to the way of life. Her ways are crooked, and she doesn't know it.

Please disprove it

It perfects one's sexual proneness as well as NAMBLA's membership.
If female, it helps Hillary's next campaign, when she'll be indistinguishable from Stephen Hawking.

Brain development stops after you are born

if just porn alone does that, i wonder what the combination of adderall + hours of porn and fapping a few nights a month for months straight during my adolescent years did to me

A better question would be "Is there good reason to believe that watching porn at a young age affects brain development negatively". A lot of people will bring up how it rushes your brain with dopamine but so does exercise, eating food, buying something, playing videogames, hugging your pet, etc..

The brain is complicated and simple rules like "heavy dopamine rushes are bad for you" just don't account for the nuances of our biology. Unfortunately, the only examples of people who weren't exposed to porn at young ages tend to be people like indigenous aboriginals or other groups of people who don't have a lot of access to modern media. There upbringing is so different that you can't really control for all the factors.

I can't tell you if it's bad for your brain because I don't know. The thing is you probably don't either unless you have access to some evidence that people don't. I'm personally skeptical as a lot of the concern around porn comes from more anti-sex religious-cultural roots. A lot of the people who were worried about porn in the past were also the ones saying weed was going to make you hang out with black people and the devil and eventually kill you, so not a great track record of truth. Still, it's completely possible. My advice is to not worry about it until you have good reason to.

Probably not considering I was first exposed when I was 8.
