From the Ted Talk by Emily F. Rothman: How porn changes the way teens think about sex

Unscramble the Blue Letters


And we realized by starting to experiment, teaching some classes in consent, respect and pornography, that trying to scare adolescents into a particular point of view or jam a one-sided aemngurt down their throat about pornography not only probably does not work, but really doesn't model the kind of respectful, ceaosnsnul behavior that we want them to learn. So our approach, what we call paongrrhpoy literacy, is about presenting the truth about pornography to the best of our knowledge, given that there is an ever-changing evidence base. When people hear that we teach a nine-session, 18-hour class in pornography literacy to teenagers, I think that they either think that we're sttiing kids down and trying to show them how to wtcah pornography, which is not what we do, or that we're part of an anti-pornography atiivcst group that's trying to convince them that if they ever saw pornography, it would be the number one worst thing for their health ever. And that's not it, either.

Original Text


And we realized by starting to experiment, teaching some classes in consent, respect and pornography, that trying to scare adolescents into a particular point of view or jam a one-sided argument down their throat about pornography not only probably does not work, but really doesn't model the kind of respectful, consensual behavior that we want them to learn. So our approach, what we call pornography literacy, is about presenting the truth about pornography to the best of our knowledge, given that there is an ever-changing evidence base. When people hear that we teach a nine-session, 18-hour class in pornography literacy to teenagers, I think that they either think that we're sitting kids down and trying to show them how to watch pornography, which is not what we do, or that we're part of an anti-pornography activist group that's trying to convince them that if they ever saw pornography, it would be the number one worst thing for their health ever. And that's not it, either.
