Zoomers have straight up told me that easy porn is one of the worst things about growing up when they did. But what are you going to do as a pubescent kid, not watch HD porn available in a few clicks?
Porn especially is a difficult problem, because people's desire for it is older than civilization and they will always seek it out in some form. Its basic instinct and no amount of moralizing will ever truly curb it.
So the ease of access to it is the same root as the obesity problem. Normal human desires made too easy to achieve through the quality of life presented by modern society. And much like obesity, it can really only be defeated by restraint and discipline.
But, unlike food, nobody wants to talk to their kids about titties and masturbation (for good reason) so they are mostly left on their own to swim in it. And it really ruins them before they are even old enough to recognize it.

You must be a carpenter you hit the nail on the head so perfectly.

Most people don't even get to talk to their kids about moderating food intake. It's often not that they don't want to, it's just that it's not a topic the kids want to engage in. It's boring. It involves responsibility, being future-conscious, etc. But it's worth the discomfort on both ends, at least that's what I've found.

Literally hardwired into us. Our whole reason for existing (apparently) is to have kids and further the species.
I agree, making it taboo and not talking about it is part of the problem.
People get so weird over a naked body.
It could be curbed pretty sharply by dealing with the companies that give it away for free, like mindgeek.
