Sexual Health Literacy in the Age of Digital Pornography.

Thesis

The rise of sexually transmitted diseases in adolescents and young adults is due to the unlimited access to digital pornography that exposes unhealthy sexual practices and discourages safe sex. These numbers can be reduced by proper and consistent sexual education (including encouraging open face to face conversations about sex rather than through a screen), government policies mandating pornography sites to add disclaimers and removing videos that promote unrealistic sexual standards.
