Leading Australian sex educator, Maree Crabbe, has warned of the impact hardcore pornography is having on young people.
Talking to Australian news network ABC, she claimed: ‘Porn is arguably the most prominent sexual educator for many, perhaps all young people.’
And it seems her fears are founded.
Eighteen-year-old student Annie Hill told reporters: ‘Hardcore sex like that is the norm,’
She went on: ‘All the available porn is like next-level stuff; it’s like there’s no romance affiliated with sex anymore.’
While another teenager explained: ‘Some boys or girls, they expect that sex is violent — [that] it is okay to use chains or whips, to hurt someone.’
