Abstract
This research report by Bravehearts, and Australian child sexual abuse prevention charity, provides an overview of the body of research existing on the impact that viewing pornography has on children, pre-teens and teenagers is both relevant and of the utmost importance. The current high rates of sexual abuse, the ‘mainstreaming’ of pornography, how vital media and technology are in the lives of young people today, the role of sexual educator pornography holds for young people today, and the changed sexual lives of young people all press the need for understanding and change.
