PORN & NZ Young People Report 2018

The recent explosion of internet technology and unlimited, unregulated and free access to online pornography via mobile devices has dramatically changed the pornography landscape for young people in Aotearoa.


“Porn and Young People – What do we know?” is a 2018 report produced by The Light Project, giving some interesting insights from youth organisations, schools, whanau, therapists and Christian faith based organisations.  The report says that “There is now an increasing body of research that suggests porn is shaping young people’s sexual beliefs, attitudes and behaviours and that it may
be associated with potentially harmful sexual and mental health outcomes.  The findings suggested that 94% of those respondents believe that porn is an issue for young people in Aotearoa. 71% are already engaging in conversations about porn with young people in their workplace, but of these, 59% feel unequipped, reporting a lack of porn knowledge and awareness.”
