Educating teen boys about porn - any resources?

[missyB1]

Hi was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction for resources that will help explain the pitfalls of porn for teenage boys? I'm thinking along the lines of how it often demeans women/ promotes sexual violence/ promotes unrealistic expectations etc.. My ds is slightly too young at the moment but my friend is worried about her 15 year old who is insisting "porn is healthy for me"!

I think there is an updated section regarding it in the book Raising Boys..."Steve Biddulph has completely updated and revised his seminal work to include all the latest international information and advice for parents on all the key issues of today such as : gender brain and hormonal development including latest findings on testosterone, transgender/gay/sexuality development, boys and crying, boys and 'bad' behaviour, reading and communication, countering the effects of porn..."

There’s a set of resources called Planet Porn which are good

There's a website called your brain on porn which is interesting and I think there's a TED talk the same title
www.yourbrainonporn.com/

I like the video because actually it focuses on explaining to young men how porn use can negatively affect their real life sex and I think most teen boys will be more swayed by that than anything about impact on others

There’s a series on the BBC iPlayer called ‘Porn Laid Bare’ which could be useful for this

Brilliant suggestions thank you so much!

The sex education show presented by Anna Ryder Richardson was great.
Made years ago but probably available somewhere on the net.

It seems in school my friends ds was told porn is a normal healthy part of growing up. Hmmmm....

Good for you op for thinking about this stuff

I think that Culture Reframed has some really good resources and discussion frames.
