While young people’s curiosity is completely normal, this video makes it clear that pornography is not a good source of accurate information about sex. Pornography often features white 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. Pornography can also show people with vulvas having multiple orgasms over and over again, but this does not happen in real life. 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. [AMZ-116] Youth Pornography—sometimes called porn—is any material that is designed to cause arousal or sexual feelings for the person reading or viewing it. Porn is very common online and generally includes pictures or videos of people who are naked and/or engaging in sexual acts. It is completely normal to be curious or feel sexually excited when looking at porn. However, keep in mind that porn is meant to be viewed by adults. Sometimes when searching the internet, you may come across pornography. What’s most important to remember is that porn—just like many shows and movies—is pretend. Actors and the behaviors in porn are not realistic because porn often exaggerates what bodies and sex are like in real life. Don’t expect people’s bodies to look or behave in those ways in real life, including your own. If you come across porn and have questions, it is always a good idea to talk to a parent or trusted adult. FAQs Is sex really like what you see in porn? No, porn is a fantasy. It is not like real life just like some movies and shows. Some people like to watch or look at sexual images in porn because they have questions about what sex is supposed to be like or the images get them sexually excited, and others don’t like to watch porn. But remember that porn is meant for adults and is not real, so it should not be considered a reliable source of information about sex. I saw a video of people having sex on YouTube, and I think my penis or breasts are too small. Are they? Porn often shows unrealistic images including the size of genitals and breasts. What you should remember is that people come in different shapes and sizes, and that makes everyone special. Some people have larger penises or breasts and some have smaller penises or breasts. Either way is completely normal and just right! Isn’t watching porn just as good as a sex ed class? While some young people might think that watching porn may be a good idea to help them learn about sex, it is not a substitute for comprehensive sex education. Porn can mislead people into thinking that sex is something that it isn’t in real life. Remember porn is fiction. Young people are better prepared for sex later in life when they have good sex ed at home and in school.

CONVERSATION STARTERS If you start essential conversations about topics like pornography with your children, then they will know they can come to you with questions.

Here are some ways to start these conversations: Talk with your child about internet safety When speaking with your child about internet safety, talk about the fact that there are some things online that are inappropriate for children.

Don’t shame or punish your child If you come across your child viewing porn, be sure not to shame or punish them. Some parents may decide that revoking the child’s computer privileges is fitting in these situations, but this may lead to your child being less likely to come to you in the future with questions about things they see or hear online, including bullying. You can use this as an opportunity to educate them about what porn is and why it might not be a good idea for them to look at it, especially as an adolescent.
