Is it ok for a teenager age 17 to look at porn sites or should he wait till 3 months when he will be 18

Why do you want to look at porn? It's not ok at any age.

I think anyone at any age, as long at that person understands the situation and the causes and effects, and feels comfortable and informed enough to proceed, should be fine to do so. That goes for a 2 year-old helping decorate cupcakes or a 17 year-old looking at porn.

What?? No!
And I don't say that to be a prude. The reasoning is this:
At age 17, the child is not just a child legally, they are also a child in life, if you understand my meaning here. Porn is unrealistic in its portrayl of sex. And any young person who watches it as if it is 'supposed to show them how sex is' will be sorely dissapointed.
They will also have a skewed view on women and sexuality. Most porn is geared towards the male gaze, not the female. So, watching porn would proliferates a selfish male view of sex --ie. the woman is there only to give the man pleasure, not both there for each other.
Lastly, and playing off my previous point, porn will give a youngster an unreasonable expectation of his or her partner --physically and emotionally. Porn stars are paid to do...interesting... things in their films. They are paid to do unusual positions, have a certain length of penis, make extra loud noises, etc. It's a sort of fantasy. And although in the films the man may have 13 inches, in real life John Doe may have 6.

Personally I don't think 18 year olds or 35 year olds or 70 year olds should be looking at porn at all...so no I don't think it is OK.

Pretty normal for a 17yr old, you are no longer a child at 17 but a young man.

most ppl think that loOKing at porn is ok, but is not OK no matter how old you are.
it will get your addicted.
the other reason is that one of the biggest problem in our world is human traffic and those who buy girls and force them to do pron. if they do not get anyone to buy and pay for those things less girls will get to those things...
