I read "Forever" in fourth grade, and lots of bodice-ripper romance novels in fifth and sixth. The one that probably put the most stuff in my head that I'd rather not be there was Mists of Avalon in seventh grade, though.
Stop means no. And no means no. So . . . stop.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well, I was 14 first viewing. By 15, I was shadow cast and making out with Mickie. So.

Hee, I just got the nicest Xmas card with a valentine tucked in it. Smile-making!

I was also one reading terribly inappropriate novels way too young. I don't know that it really harmed me, though. It's not as though I got up to anything in high school or even mostly in college. (Though when I came out, my mother did go "but what about all the trashy romances you used to read?!?") But I have no idea, with the internet and whatnot.
India would be exciting, Brenda, ooh!

I too received a sweet little Avengers Valentine's Day card!
Mille grazie!

I know I read a bunch of inappropriate stuff when I was young - my dad left his SF anthologies and "trashy books" lying around (mom would occasionally forbid me from reading something of hers, which meant I had to read it in secret), and I roamed freely through the library - but I don't remember anything specific. So, no lasting harm, I think.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
My parents gave me Everything You Always Wanted to Know About sex to answer my questions at age 9. I snuck their copies of The Sensuous Man and The Sensuous Woman at age 10. The only damage that resulted from this was my belief that everybody should make an effort to become technically proficient and generous with oral sex.

Like the time she meant to rent Empire of the Sun and came home with The Last Emperor.
I went to a sleepover where this exact thing happened! And I still haven't seen Empire of the Sun.
