I think this is a very difficult thing to regulate, because I in no way feel that porn should be something that should be censored, but at the same time, I don't think that children of the ages mentioned in the OP should not be accessing that sort of material.

I think the answer lies in educating all parents into internet filtering software. Maybe the answer is a legal requirement on the part of ISPs to provide a free internet filtering option that's managed by them, but with constraints that are changeable to parents. It's probably not the most bomb proof option though (but there aren't exactly many options in the first place).

I do think that porn definitely needs to be incorporated into the sex education lessons taught by schools. In my time at secondary school, it was never discussed in our PHSE lessons, and in a way that's kind of terrible given that there are so many ethical concerns and issues surrounding pornography. Those concerns are something that I think most people my age don't exactly realise, and if more people were opened up to those issues I think that would definitely help with this sort of 'desensitisation' to it as mentioned in that article.
