Does early exposure to porn turn kids into sex addicts?

No, they are not related! But it's not easy for the parents to handle kids expose to porn except banding it.

How about boyfriend watching porn, what the girlfriend would do? Or the other way round?

Since porn has negative image in our society, not only the film makers but also the viewers. Worries about giving a 'wrong' message about sex, concepts and beliefs. Actually, the porn shows some of the sexual fantasy which are already there, in our mind. And the porn is a way to visualize.

Usually people can distinguish fantasy and reality without guidance. But of cause, seek for consultation when you have questions.

Does early exposure to porn turn kids into sex addicts?

The aim of this retrospective study was to assess the relationship between early exposure to pornography and sexual compulsivity among Croatian young adults. Using online survey data on pornography use and sexual behavior among 1,528 heterosexual women and men aged 18-25, we tested a hypothesis that pornography use at the age of 14 is a marker for sexual compulsivity in late adolescence and young adulthood. After satisfactory reliability of a four-item subscale of the Sexual Compulsiveness Scale (Kalichman & Rompa, 1995) was confirmed in this sample, construct validity of this composite indicator focused on out of control sexual thoughts and behaviors was assessed. High sexual compulsivity was associated with sexual risk taking, though mainly among women, decreased levels of relationship intimacy and lesser sexual contentment. However, we found no significant association between early exposure to pornography and high sexual compulsivity either among men or women.
