Abstract

This synthesis of 30 qualitative studies examined young people’s views on pornography related to their sexual health. Synthesis revealed pornography use is considered normal by young people, reinforced by its usefulness as a tool for pleasure, information, and instruction in the absence of sufficient sexuality education. However, youth can become distressed by misogynistic, racist, homophobic, transphobic, or violent pornography content. Youth lack spaces to discuss pornography with trusted adults, leaving them to manage their use without support and potentially leading to harmful attitudes and unrealistic expectations about sex. Implications include the need for additional research and increased access to inclusive sexuality education.

摘要

这份综合了 30 项定性研究的报告调查了年轻人对与其性健康相关的色情内容的看法。综合显示，年轻人认为使用色情内容是正常的，在缺乏足够的性教育的情况下，它作为一种娱乐、信息和指导的工具的有用性进一步加强了这一点。然而，青少年可能会对厌恶女性、种族主义、恐同、恐跨或暴力色情内容感到苦恼。年轻人缺乏与可信赖的成年人讨论色情内容的空间，使他们无法在没有支持的情况下管理自己的使用，并可能导致对性的有害态度和不切实际的期望。其影响包括需要进行更多研究和增加获得包容性性教育的机会。
