NAPILT - excellent new meme.
As a mother of boys and a girl - the boys fast approaching teenage years - online porn is something I feel both anxious about, and powerless to do anything about.
It is degrading, it is violent against women - it is not something I want any of my dc seeing - certainly in their early teens, before they've even experienced the real thing. I think the article about porn hijacking sexuality is very good too.
Sure, boys had always sought out Mayfair, Page3, M&S underwear catalogue etc - but it really is only in the last decade that such explicit/violent/misogynistic material has been available on a quick google search - I do think it's damaging to those exploited by the industry, and those boys/men/women/girls exposed to it.
Thanks Basil.
