‘SEX EDUCATION THROUGH PORN’

Rape Prevention Education works with 40 Auckland schools to promote safe and respectful physical contact through its Body Safe programme, and has encountered some worrying attitudes, she said.

Teenage boys are getting sex education through porn, most of which is heavily focused on violence against women, she said.

And many think it’s fine to have sex with teens who are under-age. In one school recently, when asked to say whether it was OK or not OK for a 14 year old to willingly have sex with a teacher, many thought it was OK, she said. “There’s a big lack of information about the age of consent.” [Read more…]

Dr Michael Flood, a senior lecturer in sociology at the University of Wollongong, is challenging the porn industry to move away from what he says are increasingly aggressive depictions of sex. He said porn was shaping social attitudes among young men, encouraging them to view women as sexual objects.

New Zealand pornographer Steve Crow said he agreed that pornography was becoming more extreme.

“But the market is demanding more and more extreme stuff. You can put the softer stuff out there, but people don’t buy it.”

Stephen (Steve) Peter Crow, a banned company director, argues that pornography was not harming society. “It’s a fantasy, that’s all it is.” [Read more…]

Pop porn: Genre’s sexy antics worse than hard-core pornography, U.K. MPs told

by Leave a Comment

“Sexualized” pop stars are more of a threat to children using the Internet than hard-core pornography, says a U.K. expert on child protection.

Jim Gamble, former head of a British government task force on child protection and chairman of a London-based group for safeguarding children, says “highly sexualized” singers such as Miley Cyrus have a “far greater” impact on young people than the worst kinds of pornography.

Addressing a government committee on culture, media and sports, he told MPs that unlike pornography, there is “no filter” for children’s viewing of such celebrities.

“I think there is far too great focus and emphasis on (the online pornography) side of the debate,” Gamble said. “If you look at Miley Cyrus, if you look at some of the other pop stars and their behaviour, that has a far greater and much more easily accessible influence on young people today than actually seeing adult, or hard-core, pornography, for that matter.
