Researchers have found that a rising number of children are learning about sex from watching pornography because sex education lessons are inadequate, and the average age at which children first watch pornography is just 11, the Daily Telegraph reported.
Australian researchers Maree Crabbe and David Corlett said children were turning to adult films because schools were not discussing the positive aspects of sex.
"Discussion of sex and intimacy is too often avoided in schools," they said. "Porn has become a cultural mediator in how young people are understanding and experience sex. Porn is our most prominent sex educator."
研究人员发现，由于性教育课程缺乏，越来越多的孩子正通过看黄片来获取性知识，而他们第一次看黄片的平均年龄为11岁。
澳大利亚学者墨里·克拉布和戴维·科利特向《每日电讯报》表示，因为学校不能提供积极的性教育，孩子们才会向成人电影学习。
他们声称：“学校常常对关于性和性行为的探讨避之不及, 黄片已经成为年轻人了解性﹑体验性的文化媒介。它是我们最具影响力的性教育家。”
