Singer-songwriter Gracie Abrams, 25, recently expressed how much she believes porn is “really dangerous,” especially for young people.
“Porn is bulls***,” Abrams told Cosmopolitan magazine in a recent interview. “It is dangerous, not real, and a performance.”
“It’s really dangerous for young people, for that to be their introduction to sex,” she added.
Abrams recalled reading a raunchy article in Cosmo when she was younger, which sparked her to explore things on the internet.
“I took to the internet for answers, which is frightening to think about now,” she said. “Young people need to learn about sex from a reputable resource like Cosmo or a strong mentor, not just scrolling aimlessly online like I did.”
Notably, Cosmo has been criticized for its objectification, promotion of promiscuity, and even advising women to lie to their partners after cheating on them.
Abrams is not the first young celebrity to speak about the dangers of porn.
In 2021, Billie Eilish discussed how she was exposed to porn at a very early age and now finds it to be “a disgrace.”
“I used to be the person that would talk about porn all the time. I’d be like, ‘Oh, it’s so stupid that anybody would think that porn is bad or f***ed up,’ you know, ‘I think it’s so cool and it’s great and it’s empowering,'” she recalled of her attitude early on. “I was an advocate and I thought I was ‘one of the guys’ and would talk about it and think I was really cool for not having a problem with it and not seeing why it was bad.”
“I think it really destroyed my brain and I feel incredibly devastated that I was exposed to so much porn,” Eilish, then 19, continued.
“I think that I had sleep paralysis and these night terrors slash nightmares because of it,” she said. “I think that’s how it started because I would just watch abusive BDSM and that’s what I thought was attractive.”
“It got to a point where I couldn’t watch anything else unless it was violent,” Eilish said. “I didn’t think it was attractive. And I was a virgin, I had never done anything, and it led to problems.”
The singer regrettably recalled agreeing to “not good” sexual encounters because she thought that was what she “was supposed to be attracted to.”
“I’m so angry that porn is so loved, and I’m so angry at myself for thinking that it was okay,” she added.
