Young people’s needs and preferences for health resources focused on pornography and sharing of sexually explicit imagery

摘要

Public concerns have been raised about the effects that young people’s rapidly increasing access to online pornography has on their mental wellbeing， sexual development and gender norms and expectations.1 Young people are also increasingly exchanging personal sexually explicit images (also knowns as ‘sexts’ or ‘nudes’).2 When images are shared without the consent of the person in the image， severe social and mental health consequences can arise for the victim.3 In acknowledgement of these emerging issues， some recent sexual education campaigns and resources have attempted to provide educational information on pornography use and the sharing of personal sexually explicit images.
