To be fair, the citations don't pass the sniff test. The very first citation contradicts statements in the article. Check the summary for it:
> Risky sexual behaviors were not associated with online pornography exposure in any of the groups, except that males who were exposed (deliberately or not) had higher odds of not having used a condom at last intercourse. Bi/homosexual orientation and Internet use parameters were not associated either. Additionally, males in the wanted exposure group were more likely to be sensation-seekers. On the other hand, exposed girls were more likely to be students, higher sensation-seekers, early maturers, and to have a highly educated father. We conclude that pornography exposure is not associated with risky sexual behaviors and that the willingness of exposure does not seem to have an impact on risky sexual behaviors among adolescents.
It was claimed: "However, early exposure to pornography and unregulated/excess exposure to pornography during the formative years of adolescence has been seen to have various long-term deleterious effects on sexual maturation, sexual behavior, Internet addiction, and overall personality development."
Notice that it said:
1. Early exposure
2. Unregulated
3. Long-term
4. May affect Behavior and/or internet addiction and/or overall personality development
Your citation meanwhile disproves one situation for specifically causing one of possible outcomes.
31 citations, and the most intelligent response is "not seeing any stats."
You'd think they'd want to cite specific stats to quantify the language they're using though, no?
That they don't pull and display stats from their cited sources would be a bad sign, no?

That's not what was claimed.
