Reality TV star Megan Barton Hanson has revealed how watching porn used to make her feel insecure when she was younger — but now she completely embraces it.
The 24-year-old exotic model from Essex has just written a column on Vice about her journey through the genre, where she admitted she initially had her qualms about it.
She wrote: “Porn doesn’t make me feel insecure or down these days, but it did when I was younger.

“I think everyone is insecure about it when they’re in their teens. At 18, if my boyfriend was watching porn, I’d take it quite personally – especially if the girls in the videos looked completely different to me.
“But as I got older and started enjoying it myself, that fizzled out. The more you create your own relationship, the more you start to understand that it can be a way to discover different things and experiment with whatever floats your boat at that moment.”
The former Love Island star reckons we’d all be better off as a society if porn wasn’t seen as some secret activity on the side, but rather as a healthy addition to life that was could be chat about in public.
She even thinks it would be a good idea to start talking about porn with your pals at the weekend, saying that making your viewing habits into a “normal conversation with your friends” would “help people’s feelings around it”.

She concluded that talking to your boyfriend or girlfriend about pornography can be a “positive experience”, and suggested readers asked their lovers about what they’re into “right now”.
“One thing can lead to another and before you know it you’ll be giving it a go yourself.”, the reality star said.
