The first ever state-based inquiry into the impacts of porn challenges simplistic ideas in favour of nuance, and calls for better sex ed.
- Professor of Communications, Edith Cowan University
Young people have reported how consent can be painted as a simple ‘yes’ or ‘no’ act, rather than an ongoing discussion between sexual partners.
Adults have blamed porn for many things recently, including harming teenagers. We asked teens what they thought and their opinions paint a complex picture.
New research shows how current messages to ‘simply avoid’ sexting do not work for young people.
Consent education now is patchy and inconsistent. Many schools focus exclusively on safety, which may come at the cost of the enjoyable benefits of human connection.
