The impact of porn on young people these days is vastly underestimated. In my work I see an awful lot of young people who've been really badly impacted by porn and we have to kind of address what's going on.
When you look at the history of porn you'll realise we've always had erotica.
You go back as far as 35,000 years where they found erotic drawings on a cave wall in Germany and you go back to ancient Greece and there was gay male sculptures that were pornographic and erotic.
And there were many other incidents throughout history that shows that, especially the male desire to have visual stimulus is ever present.
What happened really is things have turned kind of, turned darker within medieval times when you look at for example, in 1100 there was medieval sex torture instruments discovered and then the Marquis de Sade in the 18th century was into sadomasochism (the derivation of sexual gratification from the infliction of physical pain or humiliation either on another person or on oneself)
In the 19th century the camera was invented and it became something that was more usable by the public in the 19th century, and within a month the first pornographic picture of a woman was distributed and sold. There were over 50 porn shops in London in the 1840s or so.
There were over 400 pornographic studios in Paris in the 1860s, so it was definitely rising as the camera became more and more easily obtainable and then pornographic magazines started in 1885.
In the 1980s, porn became freely available in hotels and motels around the USA and in a way that normalised pornography in a big way because ordinary businessmen were invited to watch porn. It kind of normalised something that had stayed on the edges of society until then.But with the arrival of the internet in the 1990s, everything changed.
Within about 10 years, the porn industry was worth over a million, then became worth over a billion.
It's worth many billions now.
It is a very, very, very well established industry that is taking advantage of a huge amount of very, very young people.
An awful lot of kids who come to me, they might be teenagers, but when they first saw porn, they were invited to see it because maybe there was an older boy in their group or maybe an older boy gave it to his younger brother.
And as a result, he sent it to the boys in the class or the girls in the class or the group chat. Very often kids are invited to watch pornography before they're able to understand it.
Showing sexual content to a child before they understand sexual content is actually very creepy and it's icky and it's also child abuse. And people don't realise that one in three forms of child abuse is from child to child. That's often underestimated.
I'm not saying that showing a kid pornography from one kid to another is bad and seen as child abuse, but what I am saying is it can be received as child abuse.
