Is It Normal To Watch Porn?

This video acknowledges how common it is for young people to stumble upon pornography or to seek it out because they are curious about sex. While young people’s curiosity is completely normal, pornography is not a good source of accurate information about sex. Pornography often features actors with dramatically enhanced bodies, but in real life bodies come in a range of shapes, sizes, colors and abilities. Pornography also uses special effects, like those you might see in a superhero film, to have things happen that could never happen in real. Pornography can also feature sexual behaviors with no mention or use of safer sex or contraceptive methods. Scenarios in pornography also often include people engaging in sexual behaviors who have just met and don’t know one another. Most people find that sex feels better when they are in an intimate and caring relationship with a partner. [AA-004]
