COPENHAGEN, March 18, 2015 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A professor of sexology at Aalborg University has suggested that showing children pornography in school would help children better understand sexuality.
Christian Graugaard said he hopes by watching hardcore porn, children will realize that it differs from real-life sex.
Graugaard told the Danish public broadcaster DR that if children try to act out what they see online, it could result in "broken necks and disappointment," so he thinks schools should help teenagers distinguish between porn and real life. That process, he said, would involve showing them more porn.
“Instead of having sex education be boring and technical, where you roll a condom onto a cucumber, I’d rather have us educate our children to be critical consumers who see porn with a certain distance and reflection,” Graugaard said.
Danish studies indicate that almost all teenage boys and 86 percent of teenage girls have seen porn. One survey carried out last October found that three quarters of Danish men and a third of Danish women watch online porn regularly.
Critics say that, while giving children an understanding that porn leads to unrealistic expectations about sex and can lead to serious social problems, society ignores the harm inherent in watching any form of porn.
In her research into porn, Dr. Judith Reisman – who authored the book Kinsey, Sex and Fraud – found that frequent use of pornography develops into an addiction and can damage the structure and the function of the brain by changing its chemistry.
The National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCSE), the U.S.-based group behind the "Porn Harms" campaign, has gathered a massive amount of research describing how pornography harms children and adults.
Enough Is Enough, a resource website for parents concerned about internet porn, notes that porn:
"has a negative impact on the emotional and mental health of children";
"facilitates sexual aggression";
"desensitizes the viewer and increases an appetite for more deviant, bizarre, or violent types of pornography"; and
"contains images that can never be erased" from the child's mind.
Studies show when a child or adolescent encounters internet pornography, it can have lasting negative or even traumatic effects on the child’s sense of security and sexuality, according to Dr. Jill Manning, a marriage and family therapist specializing in research and clinical work related to pornography and problematic sexual behavior.
Dr. Manning, told U.S. lawmakers that pornography "promotes the belief that superior sexual satisfaction is attainable without having affection for one’s partner, thereby reinforcing the commoditization of sex and the objectification of humans, and that children who have been exposed have an increased risk for developing sexual compulsions and addictive behavior."
Cathy Cleaver Ruse, a Senior Fellow for Legal Studies at the Family Research Council, has written that porn use affects all members of the family, not just the porn addict.
"Pornography devastates marriages, as husbands report to loving their spouses less due to the addiction,” she wrote, “and the wives of these users have deep psychological wounds, with feelings of betrayal, mistrust, and anger towards their partner, sometimes requiring clinical treatment for trauma."
"Not only does it eliminate an affectionate family life," she said, but "children can experience traumas related to encounters with their parents' pornographic material."
"A study of adolescents revealed that viewing sexually explicit internet materials can significantly increase their uncertainties about sexuality, can lower their self-esteem, and bring about feelings of loneliness and depression," Cleaver Ruse said.
That makes as much sense as shooting them up with heroin.
Providing pornographic material to children is a crime in most areas.
Or it used to be.

Sick maggots are crawling out of sewers everywhere. This clown is one of them.
Yes, it does. They'll see the horrors of heroin and avoid it forever and ever. And ever.
While we're at it, lets adopt Sharia law. We'll learn we hate it, and get rid of it for ever. And ever.
And they should be taught how to avoid binge drinking by learning to properly drink alcoholic beverages underage, learn their body's limits for drink.
Well said.
Most porn lives in the world of fantasy, not reality.
There is intimacy and the resulting sex that is incredible.
Then, there is recreational sex, which is something totally different.
Liberals know society will break down if they can disrupt human intimacy.
All this would do is get them addicted at an earlier age.
Grooming children to accept homosexual propositions also used be be criminal; corrupting a minor.
Now teachers are prohibited from warning them against it.
This “professor” is clearly a pedophile and anyone too stupid to realize that needs to be institutionalized.

Marxist Feminism’s Ruined Lives

“When women go wrong men go right after them.” – Mae West
“Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy; its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.” Winston Churchill wrote this over a century ago.
During my junior year in high school, the nuns asked about our plans for after we graduated. When I said I was going to attend State University, I noticed their disappointment. I asked my favorite nun, “Why?” She answered, “That means you’ll leave four years later a communist and an atheist!”
What a giggle we girls had over that. “How ridiculously unsophisticated these nuns are,” we thought. Then I went to the university and four years later walked out a communist and an atheist, just as my sister Katie had six years before me.
Sometime later, I was a young divorcee with a small child. At the urging of my sister, I relocated to NYC after spending years married to an American executive stationed in Southeast Asia. The marriage over, I was making a new life for my daughter and me. Katie said, “Come to New York. We’re making revolution! Some of us are starting the National Organization of Women and you can be part of it.”
I hadn’t seen her for years. Although she had tormented me when we were youngsters, those memories were faint after my Asian traumas and the break-up of my marriage. I foolishly mistook her for sanctuary in a storm. With so much time and distance between us, I had forgotten her emotional instability.
And so began my period as an unwitting witness to history. I stayed with Kate and her lovable Japanese husband, Fumio, in a dilapidated loft on The Bowery as she finished her first book, a PhD thesis for Columbia University, “Sexual Politics.”
It was 1969. Kate invited me to join her for a gathering at the home of her friend, Lila Karp. They called the assemblage a “consciousness-raising-group,” a typical communist exercise, something practiced in Maoist China. We gathered at a large table as the chairperson opened the meeting with a back-and-forth recitation, like a Litany, a type of prayer done in Catholic Church. But now it was Marxism, the Church of the Left, mimicking religious practice:
“Why are we here today?” she asked.
“To make revolution,” they answered.
“What kind of revolution?” she replied.
“The Cultural Revolution,” they chanted.
“And how do we make Cultural Revolution?” she demanded.
“By destroying the American family!” they answered.
“How do we destroy the family?” she came back.
“By destroying the American Patriarch,” they cried exuberantly.
“And how do we destroy the American Patriarch?” she replied.
“By taking away his power!”
“How do we do that?”
“By destroying monogamy!” they shouted.
“How can we destroy monogamy?”
Their answer left me dumbstruck, breathless, disbelieving my ears. Was I on planet earth? Who were these people?
“By promoting promiscuity, eroticism, prostitution and homosexuality!” they resounded.
They proceeded with a long discussion on how to advance these goals by establishing The National Organization of Women. It was clear they desired nothing less than the utter deconstruction of Western society. The upshot was that the only way to do this was “to invade every American institution. Every one must be permeated with ‘The Revolution’”: The media, the educational system, universities, high schools, K-12, school boards, etc.; then, the judiciary, the legislatures, the executive branches and even the library system.
It fell on my ears as a ludicrous scheme, as if they were a band of highly imaginative children planning a Brinks robbery; a lark trumped up on a snowy night amongst a group of spoiled brats over booze and hashish.
To me, this sounded silly. I was enduring culture shock after having been cut-off from my homeland, living in Third-World countries for years with not one trip back to the United States. I was one of those people who, upon returning to American soil, fell out of the plane blubbering with ecstasy at being home in the USA. I knelt on the ground covering it with kisses. I had learned just exactly how delicious was the land of my birth and didn’t care what anyone thought because they just hadn’t seen what I had or been where I had been. I had seen factory workers and sex-slaves chained to walls.
How could they know? Asia is beyond our ken and, as they say, utterly inscrutable, and a kind of hell I never intended to revisit. I lived there, not junketed, not visited like sweet little tourists — I’d conducted households and tried to raise a child. I had outgrown the communism of my university days and was clumsily groping my way back to God.
How could twelve American women who were the most respectable types imaginable — clean and privileged graduates of esteemed institutions: Columbia, Radcliffe, Smith, Wellesley, Vassar; the uncle of one was Secretary of War under Franklin Roosevelt — plot such a thing? Most had advanced degrees and appeared cogent, bright, reasonable and good. How did these people rationally believe they could succeed with such vicious grandiosity? And why?
I dismissed it as academic-lounge air-castle-building. I continued with my new life in New York while my sister became famous publishing her books, featured on the cover of “Time Magazine.” “Time” called her “the Karl Marx of the Women’s Movement.” This was because her book laid out a course in Marxism 101 for women. Her thesis: The family is a den of slavery with the man as the Bourgeoisie and the woman and children as the Proletariat. The only hope for women’s “liberation” (communism’s favorite word for leading minions into inextricable slavery; “liberation,” and much like “collective” – please run from it, run for your life) was this new “Women’s Movement.” Her books captivated the academic classes and soon “Women’s Studies” courses were installed in colleges in a steady wave across the nation with Kate Millett books as required reading.
Imagine this: a girl of seventeen or eighteen at the kitchen table with Mom studying the syllabus for her first year of college and there’s a class called “Women’s Studies.” “Hmmm, this could be interesting,” says Mom. “Maybe you could get something out of this.”
Seems innocuous to her. How could she suspect this is a class in which her innocent daughter will be taught that her father is a villain? Her mother is a fool who allowed a man to enslave her into barbaric practices like monogamy and family life and motherhood, which is a waste of her talents. She mustn’t follow in her mother’s footsteps. That would be submitting to life as a mindless drone for some domineering man, the oppressor, who has mesmerized her with tricks like romantic love. Never be lured into this chicanery, she will be taught. Although men are no damned good, she should use them for her own orgasmic gratification; sleep with as many men as possible in order to keep herself unattached and free. There’s hardly a seventeen-year-old girl without a grudge from high school against a Jimmy or Jason who broke her heart. Boys are learning, too, and they can be careless during high school, that torment of courting dances for both sexes...
Kinda like sending children out to play in the middle of a crowded freeway “to teach them about cars.”
Christ had a very specific warning for creeps like this.
They certainly are revealing themselves.
Well.... since an erect penis looks much like a ‘gun’, won’t the children get expelled for having pictures of things that look like a gun ?
Why not give the kindergartners hand grenades to play with too?
True.
