Sure, but go to one of the main porn websites and you're shown extremely hardcore content on the front page, in video thumbnails. Often there's something "rough", probaby something about step siblings, and in most cases the actors are being exploited or quite possibly trafficked.

I agree with your sentiment though. Removing access to pornographic material isn't the answer. But these days unfiltered access comes with a different set of issues that likely have negative consequences on development of a healthy attitude to sex.

You have a point, but my guess is it's simply a numbers game. I remember everyone in middle school sharing explicit, gore, "rough" LiveLeak vides in our school-wide MSN group chats. Probably a percentage of people suffered because of it later in life, but at that point still not everyone was connected to the Internet. Even if the percentage of people that get negatively affected stays the same nowadays, the absolute numbers are bigger, so it makes it to the headlines more often.
