The Sex Education Show vs Pornography (2009)

Britain is in a state of sexual meltdown and the most at risk are teenagers. STIs are increasing at an epidemic rate; 21 teenagers get pregnant every day but most alarmingly up to two thirds of teens are receiving potentially harmful information and impressions about sex via the accessibility, quantity and graphic nature of internet pornography.

Episode 1
In The Sex Education Show's national survey of teenagers, 44% of the girls said they were unhappy with their breasts and nearly 1 in 5 say they would already consider having a boob job. Anna sets up a gallery of breasts to question whether images of 'perfect' boobs in porn and the media have affected these girls' self esteem and their body image.




Episode 2
The Sex Education Show's survey of teenage boys revealed that 27% are unhappy with the size or shape of their penises. Could their perceptions be a direct impact of watching porn where it's the norm for performers to have penises that are considerably much larger than average? Anna's on a quest to find out.




Episode 3
In The Sex Education Show's national survey of teenagers, almost a third said they learn about sex from pornography. But with safer sex rarely a feature of porn, Anna and sexual health educator Philippe Chiarella give 50 teenagers a masterclass in correct condom usage.




Episode 4
In The Sex Education Show's national survey of teenagers, almost two thirds say they don't discuss sex openly at home. Communication about sex between parents and children has been proven to reduce instances of STIs and unplanned pregnancy. Anna ropes in a group of Marlow parents to brush up on the fine art of talking sex.
