Is anti-porn education a good idea to supplement current sex-education programs?

Porn Changes the Brain." http://www.fightthenewdrug.org/

     This web page is dedicated to revealing the harms of porn to those who do, 
     and are likely to, view pornography. It discusses the harm in many forms, 
     but the one I am looking at to steer my thought lies in the section about 
     what pornography does to the brain. 

This website is heavily fortified with all kinds of data, scientifically backed to point to porn as harmful, and to suggest a need for education to teens regarding pornography. The article discusses and reveals how pornography can harm the brain even to the point of physically changing the brain, in a remarkably similar way to cocaine.

I came to this website mainly because I have seen it on social media and heard of its mission and popularity, but I didn't get exactly what I was looking for here. For the first time in research, I have hit a speed bump. I have been batting 1.000, but now I have a problem: my source was helpful, but now leading. It did give me more information, but not a solid and clear new direction. I was hoping for evidence on how training teens is good, but got only ideological and testimonial information. This was not a total failure, though. This source will come in handy, and answers my question, just not as adamantly as I had hoped. The source mentions that many people on social media have publicly backed the message, and over 300 schools have heard the anti-porn message, and many have even used the online resources through Fight the New Drug's website to fight their addiction. However, this doesn't tell me how effective it is necessarily. I am a big believer in the no-man-left-behind ideology, so I am inspired to see these efforts go on as a non-profit.

This source goes particularly well with my first source. They both talked explicitly about the harms of porn. This source, however, was much more dense and had infinity more statistical and scientific backing. I do think that this is shaping up to be a conversation of mostly consensus, barring the chance my fifth and any additional sources do not have a conflict. I think that all of the articles and texts blend together very well, but this source may roll into the first source to form one larger-sized paragraph on the negative effects. This would be a great start to the issue, noting that porn is indeed a problem, putting the issue in stasis.

I plan to ask a slightly different question: "Is anti-porn education the best supplement to the inadequate sex-education?"
