I saw my first R-rated movie when I was 3 with my dad in our living room (Predator, with an Alien and Aliens right after). I've always enjoyed the series and have come to appreciate the symbolism behind Alien more as I got older. Alien, in case you haven't seen it, is an allegory for rape. How horrifying, traumatic, and violent having your body taken over can be.
I saw my first porn at 14 at a friend's house on the internet. I had access to porn through free web browsers to get around parental controls. Never got into the crazy bondage/midget/tentacle/gay gangbang/bukkae shit.
That being said, I never raped or killed anyone after watching violent movies. I didn't have sex until I was 18, despite having watched porn for years and having a plethora of readily available partners in high school. I learned more about sex from watching porn than I ever did in class or from family. I learned specifically where things went and intimate parts of the female anatomy. I also observed at a young age that porn was pure fantasy, just like Alien is sci-fi. It does not show anything about the intimacy or the benefits of having a loving, healthy relationship.
I say you're morally bankrupt for being too lazy to teach children the difference between fiction and reality. If your children see people having sex and then assume it's okay behavior for them to take part in, you obviously have left them lacking in the right skills to enter into the adult world. I would argue they will need porn as a result of your (or anyone else) poor parenting.
...another totally moronic comment . I have already raised my children into adulthood and was able to educate them on matters of sexuality without the use of pornography .
