Pornography (often abbreviated porn) is sexually explicit material that aims to arouse people who are looking at it.

Chanel Contos sexual consent activist:
“It is a fundamentally anti-feminist act to watch porn because there is no way to tell the difference between consensual porn and non-consensual porn.”
“Learning how to have sex from watching pornography, it’s like learning how to drive by watching Formula One. The world would be a very dangerous place for drivers if this was the case, and anecdotes I hear daily reflect the treacherous landscape to girls and women when pornography is used to sex education”
“Choking has become increasingly prevalent in young men’s sexual behaviour, including in young men who do not have a violent bone in their body.”
“It is difficult to truly understand the true societal effects of pornography, as researchers and scientists have failed to find a control group of men who have never watched.”
“At what point does the mass consumption of pornography particularly among youth, become a mass form of grooming that normalises sexual violence?”
