What was said

"The average age at which a child sees porn today is 12. 1 in 7 kids sees porn at the age of 10 or younger. They didn't even have a chance to really develop normally in terms of their sexuality."

Neuroscientist Deborah Soh reveals that children are being exposed to internet pornography at increasingly young ages through smartphones, often before their first kiss or crush. This early exposure is affecting normal sexual development in Gen Z, who grew up with internet porn in ways previous generations did not.
