Absolutely false. Access to pornography during early sexual development has an obvious impact on people's ability to process sexual intimacy and intimacy in general. This has been studied and really isn't up for debate at this point.

You can let a kid pick up a videogame and let him shoot people in the head all day with probably no major effect on his psyche. What if you showed that same kid a video of someone having their head blown off?

There's literally a reason why there are laws against children seeing pornography, and to say it has no effect on the development of the brain is ridiculous.
