Early exposure to porn and sex ed

May 5, 2016 by adminstrator

The Australian Institute of Family Studies research shows that there are harms associated with early exposure to pornography, but appropriate sex and relationships education can help.

……..children and young people are accessing pornography at increasing rates with boys aged 14-17 years being the most frequent underage consumers of pornographic material. The current senate inquiry into the effects of pornography on children comes as a growing number of parents, children, teachers, psychologists and other professionals working with children and young people voice concerns about the ease of access to pornography online, and the proliferation of increasingly violent pornographic content.
