I think so. As an adult with real world experience, I know that porn is just a fantasy. Sometimes fantasy is fun and even healthy. But a young inexperienced teenager doesn't know that. I remember back to looking at porn when I was young and I know if gave me the wrong ideas; I wasn't ready for real sex because all I knew was what I saw in porn.
For adults, I absolutely agree with the contrary view that porn is becoming less mainstream and the modern internet has made it easy to find fringe fetishes. However, for young people this could be even more damaging than mainstream porn. Imagine a young person who gets hooked on a fringe fetish and doesn't realize that not everyone likes that. It would be quite a shock for both this person and his/her first partner to find out that real sex is a lot different from what they've seen.
