Help - I'm about to teach teenage boys about porn and consent......

[MrsTumbletap]

Hi all secondary teacher here and I'm due to teach sexual health this term. To male and female students aged 16-18. I have all the STD, condoms and revenge porn stuff covered. But I actually want to go into depth about consent and porn and how damaging it is, for both male and female participants such as depression, MH issues, lack of empathy for rape victims etc.

I have just found the link to a TED talk on another thread and I'm going to talk about the sexual violence. But does anybody have any links/articles that I could show? As I'm finding stuff that has a lot of inappropriate images or inappropriate language.

I can't for example use the TED talk as the language would result in parental complaints.

So I need to talk about how awful it is but I can't show it in picture or with videos, if you see what I mean.

Any help would be really appreciated.

You may find it helpful to talk about how people actually behave. As a teenager there is a lot of pressure to seem 'experienced', and a popular narrative that everyone is having loads of sex all of the time. This is not the case. Some useful numbers here: www.fpa.org.uk/factsheets/teenagers-sexual-health-behaviour

Emma Thompson wrote a book/diary for her teenage daughter. In it she talks about the head the heart and genitalia. How all of them get feelings and for sex to to be safe and enjoyable you need all three of those parts of you to have a good feeling. I wish someone had explained that to me when I was a teenager as it rouldhhsbe saved me from so much shit sex

Michael Conroy on twitter is involved with this kind iof thing andvis very approachable

Apparently Emma Watson was a great fan of this website.
