A comment in response to a man’s concern about his 15-year-old sister watching pornography read: “Shey you no watch blue film when you dey 15 years?” This comment perpetuates a dangerous cycle of normalizing harmful behaviors based on personal experience. Just because someone may have engaged in the same behavior at a young age doesn’t make it acceptable or healthy for others. Adolescents are still developing emotionally and psychologically, and exposing them to explicit content can have long-lasting negative effects.
