Good sex as a whole is about experimenting, learning, respect, and, most importantly, consent. I personally wouldn't have learned how to be a bit creative without some help from porn.
Tips and tricks can lead to more fulfilling relationships.
Of course you can learn things from porn. But you have to know what you're dealing with first or else it'd be like learning physics from a Marvel movie.
That's why early age sex education is equally important. Porn isn't going away. Being proactive and teaching that there are ground rules to consent and that "no means no" is huge.
There should always be a clear line between experimentation and outright molestation and that's what modern sex ed should be emphasizing.
"Do you mind if we try this?" or "I saw this in a porno, can we try it?" should be normalized just as much as "When were you last tested?" or the simple "Are you ok with this? We're about to have sex, right?"
*Molestation might not the right word. I struggled to come up with one. I'm settling on non-consent unless someone can come up with a better term.
