Porn As Sex Education

Porn As Sex Education

Using porn to pass comprehensive sex education? Yes, these efforts can benefit young adults. The whole approach aims at communicating the realities of sex and pleasure. From a sex therapist’s point of view, this creates a society with low child and maternal deaths, better sexual health, and little or no cases of sexually transmitted infections.

What I Think of These Efforts

Statics show more than 1 billion people visit PornHub monthly. With this insane figure, we can all agree porn can be a powerful weapon for sex education. Integrating educational elements in porn videos creates a realistic environment that changes youth’s perception of sex and pleasure. I think these efforts can pay off in our modern dominated by sexually transmitted infections, unwanted pregnancies, and maternal deaths.
