Allarme Pornografia

La pornografia dà più dipendenza della droga e dell’alcool. E’ questo il risultato preoccupante di uno studio condotto in Gran Bretagna che rivela come un terzo dei ragazzini ottenga  facile accesso ad immagini pornografiche su Internet entro l’età di dieci anni

Mentre due terzi dei ragazzi tra i 14 e i 16 anni hanno accesso a immagini pornografiche sui loro telefoni cellulari.

Nella stessa fascia d’età, otto adolescenti su dieci, hanno accesso ad immagini pornografiche nel loro computer di casa, in barba ai loro genitori, forse poco edotti sulle abili capacità al computer dei loro figli, o forse semplicemente poco attenti.

“Il fenomeno ha assunto dimensioni davvero preoccupanti ed è ora di correre ai ripari” – dicono gli esperti sociologi e psicologi che hanno portato a termine lo studio  in Gran Bretagna.

“La pornografia su Internet offre un’idea del sesso totalmente distorta”- continuano gli esperti- ” al punto che rischiamo di allevare una generazione che crescerà con l’ansia di prestazioni sessuali fuori da ogni realtà e anche con il pericolo di allevare potenziali violentatori sessuali”.

Insomma un allarme da prendere sul serio.

Innanzittutto da parte dei genitori, collocando sui computer dei filtri di accesso che rendano impossibile per i ragazzini scaricare immagini da siti porno.

Poi, ad un livello sociale più generale, sono le Istituzioni (quali scuola e società civile) a doversi fare carico con una maggiore attenzione  del preoccupante problema.

A third of children have accessed online pornography by the time they are ten years old, a disturbing survey has revealed.

And more than eight in ten children aged 14 to 16 say they regularly access hardcore photographs and footage on their home computers, while two-thirds watch it on their mobile phones.

Yet 70 per cent admit they have never been physically intimate with someone – meaning their first experience of sex is watching often violent scenes online.

Parents appear to be unaware of the risk to their children as three-quarters of the children surveyed confirmed their families had never discussed online porn with them.

In many cases, parents are simply unable to keep up with their computer-literate kids and have no idea how to install parental internet controls or to stop their children getting around them.

Experts warned the flood of extreme sexual imagery was creating a time bomb for young people who would have problems with romantic relationships when they were older and were more likely to commit rape.

Leading sociologist Michael Flood told Psychologies magazine, which interviewed hundreds of secondary school pupils for the survey: ‘There is compelling evidence that pornography has negative effects on individuals and communities.

‘Porn shows sex in unrealistic ways and fails to address intimacy, love, connection or romance. It doesn’t mean every young person is going out to rape somebody but it increases the likelihood.’

Sex addiction therapist John Woods warned watching porn was more addictive than drugs or alcohol.

He told a Sunday newspaper: ‘The pendulum has swing too far. We are allowing abusive sexual imagery to be accessed by children.

‘We need regulation but that needs people to say enough is enough and demand change.’

The NSPCC said it was ‘really concerned’ about the growing problem.

Spokesman Lucy Thorpe said: ‘For girls and boys, porn presents an extreme sexuality that puts pressure on them to behave in a certain way and view each other in a negative light.’

Justine Roberts, of online parents’ group Mumsnet, added: ‘We are going to produce a generation with a terrifying idea of what sex is about.’

Psychologies recommended a range of measures to stop children watching online porn.

They included downloading sex filters – which are often available from internet service providers – onto home computers and checking your child’s school has an ‘e-safety’ policy.
