Ridiculous – Sean TRPWL
Leading Australian sex educator, Maree Crabbe, has warned of the impact hardcore pornography is having on young people.
Talking to Australian news network ABC, she claimed: ‘Porn is arguably the most prominent sexual educator for many, perhaps all young people.’
And it seems her fears are founded.
Eighteen-year-old student Annie Hill told reporters: ‘Hardcore sex like that is the norm,’
She went on: ‘All the available porn is like next-level stuff; it’s like there’s no romance affiliated with sex anymore.’
While another teenager explained: ‘Some boys or girls, they expect that sex is violent — [that] it is okay to use chains or whips, to hurt someone.’
Melinda Tankard-Reist, an author and women’s advocate who often goes in to schools to talk to children about sex, has seen the problem first hand, and echoed her colleagues concerns, saying: ‘They are looking at porn as a sex education handbook, which can only have damaging impacts.’
She concluded: ‘They cannot develop healthy respectful relationships when pornography is their formative environment.’
