That's not what I was saying at all. I learned a lot about the whole range of how people think about sex, including a lot of the horrifically wrong stuff that no sex ed class would touch with a twenty foot pole, online. And that was a good thing because whether you have any idea about porn or not, you're sharing a world where some people take the bad parts really seriously. Getting their references, being able to go "I recognize this vibe. Getting out of here right now," is part of sussing out who's unsafe in offline life.

And also, fandom has a lot of explicit material that's really affectionate and healthy. Mainstream, for-pay porn is a sad ghetto, compared to the richness of relationships that I found in fanfiction. (Which isn't to ignore the amount of pure *fiction* out there or the silly romance tropes. But some of it was a good point of reference.)

Fiction of any kind is not a decent substitute for paying attention to how actual adults' relatioships work, or to seeking out medical information about sex, STDs, contraception, etc. But I think all of this together gives you a much better sense of what's going on than just getting a little talk about bodies in high school. Or just looking at the adults around you, because sometimes their dynamics are not what you want to repeat in your own life.
