Abstract
Adolescents around the globe are increasingly being encouraged to view sexually explicit materials. Access to such materials is damaging to their well-being. Research shows in a variety of studies and countries that sexually explicit material is being viewed by adolescents at an increasingly alarming rate and causing adolescents to perform sexual acts at younger ages. This is not only dangerous to adolescents physically but also diminishes their quality of life as a whole. The research performed to come to this conclusion consists of case analysis, visual analysis, and reading through studies previously done on the topic.
