From the BBC:
A quarter of men aged 18-24 are worried by the amount of articles they read about the dangers of porn they are watching on the internet, new research suggests.
Frequent readers of such articles in the study were much more likely to report problems with their jobs, relationships and sex lives.
Newsbeat teamed up with doctors from the Portman Clinic for the report, the first of its kind in the UK.
"Those people spending large amounts of time reading about the dangers of online porn are not having more fun," said Dr Heather Wood [sic] "They are more worried about themselves, more worried about what they are looking at, and report more relationship problems."
Free articles about danger of online porn
One thousand and fifty seven 18-24 year olds were asked to take part in an online survey drawn up with help from Dr Wood and her colleagues at the clinic, part of the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust.
Almost eight out of 10 men said they had read articles warning of the dangers of looking at porn on the internet compared with just over a third of women.
Free websites were by far the most popular way of getting hold of such articles, followed by file-sharing networks, mobile phones and TV.

In other news.
The Daily Mash is shutting down. A spokesperson said "There is no point to our further existence".
I'm 45.
I'd tell any youngster there's nothing to worry about.
Negative articles never affected me.
Nothing wrong with a good bit of porn so long as it's made by consenting adults who are getting paid for it.
In terms of negative effects on a relationship, utter garbage. I mean what are you supposed to do during that time of the month?
MW great stuff. I read the Been article and thought to myself "obviously not quite concerned enough to cut down".
Better stop reading the articles then?
