Hello, I am Adrian, a 14 year old boy, and I want to know if is it good or bad if I watch hentai or hentai manga to build up sexual stimulation? And if it is bad, what are the effects of it? Thank you!

Hi Adrian,

There's nothing automatically good or bad about watching or reading a certain type of sexual media (like hentai), and plenty of people use it to help them masturbate. You can read more about that here: Making Sense of Sexual Media.

The bigger concern right now would actually be your age, since in most places minors are not allowed to access porn. While there's nothing wrong with being curious about sexual media, you want to make sure exploring it won't get you into trouble.

Thank you very much Sam!
