Well, I've changed my mind and I'm not afraid to admit it!

The UK ISPs default to block porn has been in the news constantly for about a year and after a conversation I had yesterday I realise this is demonising porn to the extent that young people who stumble across it (those pop-ups and pop-unders) or are looking for it (and they do, we all did) now feel they have committed a heinous crime. They only hear or see the headlines "Porn is bad" "Porn must me blocked"

The conversation was with a distraught fourteen year old girl who thought she was disgusting, would be punished, would be hated. After talking with her for a couple of hours she no longer feels this. There have also been some very sad news reports of children, (and they are still children at 14, 15, 16) taking their own lives for fear of shame and punishment to themselves and their families.

The UK press is very good at sensationalising everything and they have had a field day with the porn issue. They have done more harm than the hoped good that the default block was to do.

What we need is a different attitude to sex in all its guises.
 
How easily children should be able to access porn is a difficult issue to take sides on. On one hand, they're children, and it's illegal to provide porn to them, but on the other, biological changes are making teens naturally interested in sex, and they are curious and want to watch porn to get an idea of what sex is like.

Sex and porn are both made to appear to teens as "bad", "dirty", or "disgusting", when, really, that is not what a young person should be hearing at that point. The teen years are difficult enough without being told that wanting to engage in any sexual activity is "dirty". The attitude regarding sex definitely needs to be relaxed.
