All the alerts and reports that talk about the consumption of pornography among minors emphasize the great impact that this phenomenon has on the way in which children and young people form their image of sexual relations. Nothing surprising so far. The constant repetition of behaviors and patterns, and more so if we start seeing them since we are children, ends up giving them the status of naturalness. Like the lies that end up becoming supposed truths by virtue of repeating them.
What personally surprises me the most is that from the same alerts and reports it is clear that in 2024, minors still receive little healthy information about sex, so that porn becomes one of the few references they have to start -se in the matter.
I am from a generation in which sex education was practically non-existent. I still remember the faces of astonishment with which a classroom of fifth grade girls from EGB attended the only lesson we had during our entire schooling on "human reproduction". It was in a natural science class, where the teacher showed us a graph of the female reproductive system and another of the male reproductive system and explained the mechanism by which children were born. Nothing more.
I am very far from the world of school education and until recently I thought that this subject was quite out of date. Apparently, in schools and institutes it is not so much. And often not at home either. In the wake of recent revelations about the impact of porn, I have witnessed several conversations in which parents admit that they have only discussed sex with their children if they have been asked or to warn them to take precautions when they consider that they are of childbearing age. maintain relationships Or at most, to tell them that they should never do anything they don't like.
And this when in films and mainstream series sex seems to be less and less present. We, at the very least, were living in the era of the open world. It wasn't a great reference. But at least it hinted that in our adult world there was some interest in sex.
