Some studies estimate even higher rates of exposure, with 93% of boys and 63% of girls viewing pornography before the age of 18 (Jhe et al., 2023; Coca & Wikle, 2024). Other studies show that 19%-37% of teens intentionally access pornographic content, while 35%-66% of teens unintentionally view this content.
