Love & Sex online

Pornography is not a reliable source of sex education. It portrays a fantasy world of sexual images that are often misleading and distorted.
  • Porn is a billion dollar industry that is often our main source of information about sex
  • Porn sex is not real sex – it portrays unrealistic images of bodies and what is pleasurable
  • Porn sex places little or no emphasis on negotiating consent in a sexual relationship
  • Porn does not use condoms and so does not promote safety in sexual relationships
