Porn: Whats the harm BBC THREE

Did anyone see this? What a pius, judgmental, sanctimonious program.

If there was any point to take from it, it was that sex education in school is entirely substandard and out of touch.

I thought it was funny when she googled "porn" and pretended to be shocked. Now I can believe she doesn't regularly watch porn. I've spoken to a female friend who is very sexually liberal, but simply said she doesn't get anything out of it. I can't believe that she hasn't seen a porn site before, being young, in media and from London. I can't believe that shocked her.

Aside from that, I didn't think it was that bad, the teenagers actually seemed fairly bright and clued up, the sex education for five year olds could prevent molestation and didn't seem like it destroyed anyone's childhood.

How can you search for porn and be surprised when the very thing you are searching for shows up? :pierre:

Ha she made such a point of spouting off about how she has never watched porn, never searched for porn, never thought about porn, never done anything ever shown in porn that I can only conclude she is a huge nympho porn addict.

The sex ed bit was the most constructive part I agree.
Yeah what exactly was she expecting to turn up, The National Trust website or something!
Nearly all teenagers have gone on adult sites, surely.........

Might have to watch this for educational (read: heckling) purposes as it's something that interests me.

Yeah, she did emphasise that a lot. If that is true, she's very untypical for her age, thus is possibly not the best person to be presenting this show. I like the idea that my generation (early-mid twenties) are really disconnected to teenagers now. We were the same little gigglers and purves, just with less consequences because smartphones didn't exist yet.

I also enjoyed it when they showed the rapper the reaction video to his porn music video and he just said "well she's just an attention seeker", which is obviously true. If you see something shocking when you're on your own, your facial expression will change a bit, you don't start shouting "OH MA GOD NO WAY".

Ha that bit was hilarious. Skepta was clearly right, she was attention seeking. Not once in that program did it acknowledge at all that porn comes in many forms, people have all sorts of different interests sexually and it is ok to like watching porn.

To be fair, I don't think they were saying it's bad for adults to watch porn, just that it isn't appropriate for children. Which is fairly reasonable. The only problem I have is the assumption that it is causing all these problems. like women being treated badly- no one really has good data to support this.

The idea of a ten year old watching porn for it's primary purpose is pretty disturbing, but I don't think they are, I think it's more "oh my God, look at this, it's so naughty and gross!". Although we'd all like to protect children, I don't know if that is really causing any problems.

I hate the faux shock that comes in these shows, almost like they are having feints of the vapours. Pathetic.

Feel free to make a complaint

I haven't seen it yet but if it's inaccurate and trying to interfere in sex education then I'll be making one too.
Tuning in as we speak :cool:

Lol this jamal chick is a joker

"To be honest , haven't watched much porn since 2002"

"I've genuinely never searched for porn before"

I'm ready for so many bull**** moments in this documentary.

Yep, that reaction was a bit over-the-top. The video was a bit much, but it wasn't that deep.
Watching it now :lol:

37 minutes in.

Sexting :cool:

Heard the advert for it on the radio. It sounded stupid and biased and had no intention of watching it. I assume by these comments I was right?

I agree! It was a load of bull. Bias and completely judgemental. She did not even explain what the harm is, if any. She just assumed porn = bad. It was not answering the documentary title and was just a load of bull.

Worst documentary I have seen in a long while.

BBC Three is a f**king joke. It paints itself as the cool, edgy, controversial, "we're down wiv da yoof, init", channel. In reality it's just a really patronising and condescending mouthpiece for the establishment.
It was so retarded. It says 'porn and children' and then proceeds to have teenagers.

Why would you put pre-teens and teenagers in the same category in relation to pornography and sexual development? Was this to make people think under tens are made to watch porn, or even have any interest in it? By that logic they should've had an adult have sex with a 16 to 18 year old and say that that 16 to 18 year old is a child and make a stupid comment about adults are having sex with children.
