Most young people are getting at least some of their education about sex from porn, whether they mean to or not. This is especially concerning, considering how wildly unrealistic and toxic porn can be.
“I’ve been addicted to porn for most of my life. I started exploring my sexuality much earlier than I care to share.”
From our beginning in 2009, we would be nowhere without our Fighters, and we are so grateful for the support we receive from each and every one of you.
Porn is produced for entertainment purposes, not education. Clearly, porn is not a quality tool to learn about mutually satisfying sex.
“[Quitting porn] has helped me to see women as people, instead of objects. To see them as beautiful minds, not just as body parts.”
Most of us don’t have as many Instagram followers as these Fighters, but anyone can make a difference when it comes to raising awareness on the harmful effects of porn in society.
“I developed a huge lack of self-confidence, I started to hate my body and I didn’t know how to start and keep real relationships.”
“Somehow I got the sick, twisted idea in my head that as long as my boyfriend was hooked to porn, I would have to get skinnier.”
“With my first relationship, and most relationships after, my primary focus was on having sex. Yet, I didn’t understand how to have real sex because of what I had seen in porn over the years.”
Porn is often called “adult material,” but many of its consumers are well under the legal age. How are the children who see it impacted?
Looking the other way is not the most helpful approach. Get the facts on what to know about your child’s exposure to porn and what you can do about it.
