One of the most effective ways that students can be reached is through school presentations that provide educational, engaging, and impactful experiences that they’ll talk about for years afterward.

And if you’re looking for school presentation ideas, or you want to host a live presentation that will make a tangible impact, we invite you to consider having an age-appropriate event that educates on the harmful effects of porn.

Why should you consider a school presentation on porn?

Studies show that most young people today have been exposed to porn by age 13,British Board of Film Classification. (2020).Young people, pornography & age-verification. BBFC. Retrieved from https://www.bbfc.co.uk/about-classification/researchCopy  and a nationally representative survey of U.S. teens shows 84.4% of males and 57% of females ages 14-18 have viewed porn.Wright, P. J., Paul, B., & Herbenick, D. (2021). Preliminary insights from a U.S. probability sample on adolescents’ pornography exposure, media psychology, and sexual aggression. J.Health Commun., 26(1), 39-46. doi:10.1080/10810730.2021.1887980Copy 

It’s common knowledge that porn is incredibly unrealistic and often features toxic ideals, yet survey results showed that over half of 11 to 16-year-old boys (53%) and over a third of 11 to 16-year-old girls (39%) reported believing that pornography was a realistic depiction of sex. Also, 44% of boys who watched porn reported that online pornography gave them ideas about the type of sex they wanted to try.Martellozzo, E., Monaghan, A., Adler, J. R., Davidson, J., Leyva, R., & Horvath, M. A. H. (2016). 'I wasn’t sure it was normal to watch it'. London: NSPCC. Retrieved from https://learning.nspcc.org.uk/research-resources/2016/i-wasn-t-sure-it-was-normal-to-watch-itCopy 

Is there anything parents, teachers, or community leaders can do to help adolescents develop critical thinking when it comes to issues regarding pornography?

Absolutely. Here’s why you should consider booking a Fight the New Drug live presentation for your school, youth, or community event.

The benefits of a youth presentation on porn

Now more than ever before, porn has become normalized in our digital world. Because of this, awareness and education on its well-documented negative impacts has become increasingly important.

Research suggests that school staff and administrators see pornography as a serious issue that affects their school’s cultural climate surrounding sexual violence, and that education programs on porn help them feel more confident in addressing the issue and preventing sexual harassment.Maas, M. K., Gal, T., Cary, K. M., & Greer, K. (2022). Popular culture and pornography education to improve the efficacy of secondary school staff response to student sexual harassment., 1-23. doi:10.1080/15546128.2022.2076757Copy 

We take a three-dimensional approach to raising awareness on the harmful effects of pornography in society, so in addition to creating tools and resources for our global supporter base to share, we also love getting face to face with people in their schools and cities to provide research-backed information on this important issue.

Fight the New Drug’s age-appropriate and engaging presentations highlight research from respected academic institutions that demonstrates significant impacts of porn consumption for individuals, relationships, and society.
