Pornography as a source of sex education of teenagers
When sex education isn't properly taught whether at school or at home, teenagers reach for knowledge in the internet. This leads to huge disinformation and distorts the image of sex. 80% of the worldwide population is online which makes adult content freely accessible. As we all know porn doesn't reflect how sex really looks like but it was made for mostly men pleasure. Emily Rothman, which is a Professor of Community Health Sciences, led a study of 72 teens in age 15-17. It turned out that pornography is their number one source of information about sex. This may lead to development of harmful attitudes towards sex or abusive behaviours towards woman. The best way to defend young people against negative influence of pornography is to equip them with comprehensive, factual and sex-positive education. If they had enough knowledge about sex when they first come across any pornographic material, they would be resistant to its worst influences. At least 16 countries control online
