Claude Knight, of the campaign group Kidscape has been kindly pointing out some of the most interesting highlights of BBC3.
Shows broadcast online since the move last month include Meet the Devotees which showed a disabled woman wearing just her underwear and a coat in her wheelchair to satisfy fetishists as well as amputees making porn for able-bodied people.
Another graphic programme available is People Pay Me For My Underwear , which shows a young student selling her knickers online to pay for her degree.
Other programmes include The Virtual Reality Virgin, which shows a debate about whether having virtual sex with a robot is cheating, and a short programme about sex work called Everybody Cries Their First Time , where a young sex worker
Posie discusses her traumatic first time .
Knight whinged :
We have to ask why the public's licence fee is being spent on channels which offer such a tawdry view of life. It is giving a very disturbing view of the world. Why would the BBC be promoting or supporting this?
A spokesman for BBC3 said:
BBC3 informs, educates and entertains a young audience and doesn't shy away from covering issues that affect them. We're proud of the role it plays in helping young people understand issues and make sense of the world.
