The concept behind porn literacy is not to shame people for being interested in pornography or to police the content they watch, she said. She and her colleagues have been working for years on porn literacy instruction for teenagers. 'There is concern from many different corners that increasingly young people are turning to pornography for information about how to have sex,' Rothman said.
The proliferation of free streaming porn sites has made explicit content easier than ever to access, raising concerns about what, if any, impact pornography has on adolescents and young adults, Rothman said.
