Re: Porn-are you ok with it?
I agree that parents should get their children married when they reach puberty. But if due to some reason they are not able to get them married soon and the marriage is delayed, it doesn't give a right to the child to use prohibited sources of satisfying his desires.
The suhabas who were not able to get married in life, the prophet (saw) advised them to seek patience through fasts.

"O young people those among you who are able must enter into marriage. For it helps to divert your attention from women and it is a safeguard against lust. **Those who cannot marry must observe fasts for fasting too is a safeguard.
** *[Hadith of Al Bukhari & Muslim on the authority of Abdullah Ibn Masud]
Volume 7, Book 62, Number 3:
Narrated 'Alqama:
The Prophet once said to us, 'O young people! Whoever among you is able to marry, should marry, and whoever is not able to marry, is recommended to fast, as fasting diminishes his sexual power.

In another place I read that fasting kills the desire of lust. But one should also consider the following hadith
[quote]
According to Jarir Ibn Abdullah when he asked the Prophet about a man's gaze falling inadvertently on a strange woman, the Prophet replied *'Turn your eyes away'.
