I’ve written before that pornography is not necessarily a good form of sex ed. Depends on the porn, in theory. To me, this much is clear: when porn embraces abuse, degradation, humiliation, torture, that’s not sex ed.
Consider the question’s flip side: is sex ed a “good” form of pornography? Depends on the sex-ed, I suppose. I’m reserving judgment for now, but I appreciate the well-done Cherry TV website (subtitle: “Juicy Talk for Women”) for its lively, informative discussions. It’s far less how-to-please-your-man than Cosmo, and infinitely more interesting than those sex ed films I remember from the 1970s.
