How true is this comment?

It's OK to watch porn, everyone does it.

Task:

Discuss the comment in pairs for 3 minutes

Class vote

What impact could watching pornography have on a young person?

Some impacts...

Studies have shown that when children and young people are exposed to sexually explicit material, they are at greater risk of developing:

• unrealistic attitudes about sex and consent

• more negative attitudes towards roles and identities in

 relationships

• more casual attitudes towards sex and sexual relationships

• an increase in ‘risky’ sexual behaviour

• unrealistic expectations of body image and performance

What do you think the gender ratio of viewing pornography might be?

Some stats...

Significant gender differences were observed in young people aged 11-16 during research conducted by the Children’s Commissioner, NSPCC and Middlesex University. 

Boys reported a higher frequency of exposure to 

pornography (56%) than girls (40%). 

It also explored whether young people had ever seen pornography, 

whether intentionally, or not. 

If looking at their intentional seeking of pornography, then the gender 

differences are wider with 59% of boys reportedly doing so 

compared to 25% of girls.

"I think that if people watch porn [young] and then in the future in relationships they might think people are always ‘up for it’ and relationships are all about having sex when actually it’s about love.”

Beth "Is this what is expected of me?"

In pairs answer the following questions:

1. How easy is it to avoid the pressure to see something you don't want to see?

2. Is it okay to go ahead and share pornographic images with your friends?

3. Beth says that she looks nothing like the women in porn. Do you think that people in pornographic images represent a truthful image of real bodies?

4. Beth says that the other girls remain silent when porn is shown. Why would someone choose to remain silent and not speak up?

Sadie "Let's get real"

In pairs answer the following questions:

1. Sadie says that, ‘Everyone goes along with it and watches pornography.’ Do you think this is true and if so, why?

2. Sadie’s not afraid to speak her mind but gets called ‘frigid’ as a result. Do you think it’s fair that she gets called this?

3. Sadie talks about her friend who is trying to figure out their sexuality and watches gay porn. Why might someone see pornography as the best place to explore sexuality?

4. Unlike Sadie, many people might be confused and think that pornography is real. What could be the impact of this belief?

Ryan "What's the big deal?"

In pairs answer the following questions:

1. Ryan says he started looking at pornography when he was 11. At what age do you think young people might first see a pornographic image or video? Is it usually accidentally or intentionally?

2. Ryan says that pornography is everywhere and that everyone will see it at some point. How true do you think this statement is?

3. What kind of influence or impact could pornography have on a relationship?

4. According to Ryan, he’s learnt everything he needs to know about sex from watching pornography. Do you agree with Ryan that we can learn about sex from pornography?
