The report, Harms of Pornography Exposure Among Children and Young
People, also found that young boys who see pornography are more inclined
to believe there is nothing wrong with pinning down or sexually
harassing a girl. Michael Flood, who carried out the study at the Australian Research
Centre in Sex, Health and Society, said: There is compelling evidence
from around the world that pornography has negative effects on
individuals and communities. We know it is shaping sexual knowledge. Some people may think that is
good. But porn is a very poor sex educator because it shows sex in
unrealistic ways and fails to address intimacy, love, connection or
romance. Often it is quite callous and hostile in its depictions of
women. It doesn't mean that every young person is going out to rape
somebody but it does increase the likelihood that will happen. Research in the UK suggests that 60% of boys under 16 have been
exposed to pornography, accidentally or deliberately. The average age at
which they first saw porn has dropped from 15 to 11 in less than a
decade. The average amount of time they watch porn on the internet is 90
minutes a week. Such is the international spread of porn through the internet that
youngsters in Asian and African countries see blonde white women on
screen and then regard tourists with the same attributes as sex objects,
Flood says. However, Thaddeus Birchard, a psychotherapist who runs a sex
addiction practice in London, said: We are entering a period of moral
panic and this is part of it. Children are not receiving sex education
at home. Sexually explicit material on the net can even help educate
them.
I suspect that this research is nonsense and that the underlying
correlation is that parentally restricted viewing indicates a generally
more pro-active middle class upbringing. This then better explains the
lack of early teen sex.

Research correlates children watching adult TV with early teen sex
Permalink
According
to recent studies children who watch adult TV programme shows are a third more
likely to become sexually active in their early teens. The younger they are
exposed to screen content meant for their parents, the sooner they lose their
virginity during adolescence, the research showed. It found that for every hour
the youngest group of children watched adult programmes over the two sample
days, their chances of having sex during early adolescence increased by 33%.
Dr Hernan Delgado, who carried out the study, said: Television and movies are
among the leading sources of information about sex and relationships for
adolescents. His team tracked 754 girls and boys, between the ages of six
and eighteen, and recorded their viewing habits over a sample weekday and
weekend day.
The participants' onset of sexual activity was then identified during the second
stage of the study. Then six to eight-year-olds watched grown up shows they were
more likely to have sex earlier when compared those who watched less
adult-targeted material.
Dr David Bickham, the co-author of the study which was presented at the
Paediatric Academic Societies meetings in Baltimore, said: Adult
entertainment often deals with issues and challenges that adults face, including
the complexities of sexual relationships. Children have neither the life
experience nor the brain development to fully differentiate between a reality
they are moving toward and a fiction meant solely to entertain. Children learn
from media, and when they watch media with sexual references and innuendos, our
research suggests they are more likely to engage in sexual activity earlier in
life.
The researchers urged parents to follow paediatricians' viewing guidelines such
as no television in the bedroom, no more than one to two hours of screen time a
day, and to watch TV shows and have an open dialogue about the content with
children.

Researcher finds that sexy pictures make men think about using their tools
Permalink
Men
are more likely to think of women as objects if they have looked at sexy
pictures of females beforehand, psychologists have claimed.
Researchers used brain scans to show that when men looked at pictures of women
in bikinis, areas of the brain that normally light up in anticipation of using
tools, like spanners and screwdrivers, were activated. Scans of some of the men
found that a part of the brain associated with empathy for other peoples'
emotions and wishes shut down after looking at the pictures.
Sex extermination object Susan Fiske, a psychologist at Princeton University in
New Jersey, said the changes in brain activity suggest sexy images can shift the
way men perceive women, turning them from people to interact with, to objects to
act upon.
The finding confirms a long-suspected effect of sexy images on the way women are
perceived, and one which persists in workplaces and the wider world today, Fiske
claimed: When there are sexualised images in the workplace, it's hard for
people not to think about their female colleagues in those terms. It spills over
from the images to the workplace.
In the study, Fiske's team put straight men into an MRI brain scanner and showed
them images of either clothed men and women, or more scantily clad men and
women. When they took a memory test afterwards, the men best remembered images
of bikini-clad women whose heads had been digitally removed.
The brain scans showed that when men saw the images of the women's bodies,
activity increased in part of the brain called the premotor cortex, which is
involved in urges to take action. The same area lights up before using power
tools to do DIY. "It's as if they immediately thought to act on theses
bodies," Fiske claimed.
In the final part of the study, Fiske asked the men to fill in a questionnaire
that was used to assess how sexist they were. The brain scans showed that men
who scored highest had very little activity in the prefrontal cortex and other
brain regions that are involved with understanding another person's feelings and
intentions. They're reacting to these women as if they're not fully human,
Fiske said.
