As long as they don't do "romantic facesitting", or "accidental pissing aka female ejaculation".

This seems pretty sane to me."We need to show kids that there's something else than this horrible [bleep] we see on the internet. If my son treated a woman like that I would kick his [bleep] to kingdom come.
"Porn doesn't represent normal women, the actors and actresses they use mislead kids. They need to realise it's not normal."
I'm not sure a reality TV show is the best method for having that conversation though, or that random moms are the best people to be writing and directing healthier porn as opposed to trained and licensed sex therapists, nor is a 'family watch party' the right way to go about this rather than through sex education at school or personally with a therapist.The discourse here is as disappointing as I'd expect. Yeah, the "viewing party" bit is a bad idea, but their overarching point is... completely correct.
It isn't just rape porn that's potentially damaging, but the vast majority of hardcore professional porn, which can and does impart negative views, expectations, and and behavior on people — especially young people.
Obviously there's other, healthier porn, and what they're aiming to create does mostly exist (sans the "created by a council of moms" part), but there is a conversation to be had about the potential unhealthy effects of porn consumption, and how they could/should be combated.
How can it be an adult film if it's teenage friendly? They can't even legally show something on the level of a R18 film which wouldn't even be considered porn.
I really don't think that's how that works but I'm hardly an experment. I just don't remember seeing what would be classed as actual porn (as in two humans actually having sex) as part as my sex eductaion in high school and I haven't heard this being the case for anyone else. Plus this is being shown on TV so it has to be rated.They could. The pornos they produce aren't being rated by the BBFC and an argument could be made that it's for educational purposes.
The show is, doesn't mean the final product will be.I really don't think that's how that works but I'm hardly an experment.

I totally agree with you that the intentions are good, but the methods seem way more interested in being 'shocking' and getting people to tune in than being instructional.

That's still one highly dodgy loop hole that I doubt a programme shown on TV will engage in if these teenagers are actually under 18.
They're not rated by the BBFC but they are rated. It's not some wildwest in terms of what you can put up there in regards to actual pornographic material.TV broadcasts are not rated by the BBFC, so it does not apply.
No, but educational content is likely viewed much differently, and I believe this will fall under that category.Maybe I missed something, but does this channel broadcast porn?
They also showed Naked Attraction, didn't they?No, but educational content is likely viewed much differently, and I believe this will fall under that category.
Channel 4 programming has always been a bit subversive compared with BBC and ITV. They famously televised Gunther von Hagens' live autopsy programme, they've had shows where a child was filmed eating chocolates filled with liqueur until they became drunk, simply as a test to see how many would be required for a 12-year-old to consume before they were over the drink-drive alcohol limit. Others such as Embarrassing Bodies regularly feature nudity, including exposed female genitalia (i.e. not just frontal). I can definitely imagine this show getting a pass from the censors.
lol yeah, I forgot about that. I'm sure there's plenty more.
I think it just boils down to there being multiple ways to have dialogue about healthy attitudes towards sex and how porn can cause harm to developing teenage minds without making a reality TV show that is selling itself on shock value.Yeah, I agree. The whole "viewing party" clickbait bit illustrates that Goal #1 is getting people to watch their reality TV show.
That said, while I don't agree with the choice of medium, reality TV is popular and could — theoretically, lol — popularize the discussion around cultivating healthier, more realistic attitudes.
...It is the UK, though, so it could be executed or interpreted in all sorts of wrong puritanistic ways.
(On the subject of the viewing party, the way it's worded and the legal challenges lead me to believe only their older children would voluntarily attend. Which is still weird, but less so.)
