When We Rely on Porn for Sex Ed

Pornography is about entertainment and exploring fantasy; its intended purpose (unless otherwise stated) is not educational.

Keep in mind: Fantasy is not neutral. The bodies and sexuality represented in mainstream pornography reflect the values that communities hold around what bodies and sexual expressions are most valuable.

However, due to the lack of adequate sex education in our country, many people turn to pornography as a source of education about sex and bodies. This system is at the root of problematic porn usage.
