In this 10-minute video, Cindy Gallop argues that young men are getting a false sex education from pornography. The average age that kids first view porn is 11-years-old and, by the time that boys are men, they have learned to imitate the kind of sex that they see in pornography. She argues that this effect — the way that porn is shaping our actual sexual behavior — is the greatest impact of technology on human behavior. Period.<\/p>\n

Not opposed to porn, Gallop nevertheless believes that we need a counterpoint to porn so that we get a more diverse set of messages about sexuality (not dissimilar to the argument I make about hook up culture<\/a>).<\/p>\n

In service of her message, Gallop also has a TED Talk<\/a>, a short book<\/a>, and a website,\u00a0Make Love Not Porn<\/a>,\u00a0with some great content.<\/p>\n
