Over on chat we are having a helpful but rather sickening conversation about porn and it's negative effects on young people.
www.mumsnet.com/Talk/_chat/2610074-Anybody-up-for-a-general-chat-about-the-damaging-effects-of-porn-on-young-people
This was prompted by originally sharing the article on this thread...
www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/2609569-Very-sad-article-about-porn-and-how-it-affects-relationships-for-young-women
I just thought, as Chat threads disappear after 30 days, that people may wish to share their stories anonymously of negative experiences of porn and other may wish to write to their MP about how porn is harming our nation's children.
I am not interested in positive experiences or free will choices, I am interested in young people negatively impacted by porn (or older people who were impacted negatively by its use in the past) or people (women and men) negatively impacted by working or being coerced to work in the porn industry.
I am well aware MPS may not want to read a thread on Mumsnet but Mumsnet themselves may wish to take this further and sharing stories in one place like this may be of use. You could still point your MP to it!
Please only share your own true insights or information you are permitted to share on behalf of another anonymously. I recognise this is all anecdotal but I also feel sharing, and being heard, could be useful.
This is for anyone who wants to share or read about ways:
to share the damaging effects of porn and early viewing or porn, - so to de-normalise it
to inspire others to write to their MP about safer controls or any other measures to challenge the view that porn is normal and that it is not dehumanising
to share resources to fight porn/useful links etc
to share ways of talking to children about it
and finally, to assist people in contacting their schools about this type of thing.
Thank you.
