I actually had a conversation about this not too long ago. The internet opened the floodgates of availability of porn vs. Ye Olden Days when your options were magazines at the liquor stores. Male friend of mine who in Ye Olden Days did peruse such magazines told me as internet porn became more prevalent, the magazines were upping the ante to compete. They lost.
The problem seem to be that things are to the point where kids who are curious are accessing pretty hard core stuff and the parents who came of age in the magazine era don't fully understand just how much has changed in such a short period of time. The13-year old who used to sneak a peek at the magazine now thinks that choking your partner is normal. Not too long ago, that would have been considered a snuff film. They have no frame of reference. How can they?
I suspect this may have been the intent behind the original tweet. But she blew it badly - the solution isn't baby steps porn sites.
