Abstract

This report includes information and discussion that is not suitable for children under the age of 13. How does online porn affect young people? Do they choose to watch it or just see it by accident? How is it different for different age groups? Do boys and girls have different experiences? Do young people want any help or support? The information in this report comes from research conducted by Middlesex University and it shows what young people have said about porn. The report will be used to help government, schools, parents and others understand what young people experience and how they feel about online porn.
