WTF: Professor Wants Porn Shown In Junior High Classrooms

A Danish Professor is arguing to have hardcore pornography shown in schools to help young students distinguish between real-life sex and fictional sex.

Christian Graugaard is apparently a leading sexologist (whatever that is) at Denmark’s Aalborg University and wants to make porn viewing a mandatory requirement for students in the 8th and 9th grade.

According to the Guardian, Graugaard said, “My proposal is to critically discuss pornography with 8th and 9th graders [age 15 – the legal age of consent in Denmark – and 16 respectively] as part of a sensible didactic strategy, carried out by trained teachers.”

He added, “We know from research that a vast majority of teenagers have seen porn at an early age, so it’s not a question of introducing youngsters to porn. We should strengthen their ability to distinguish between the media’s depictions of the body and sex and the everyday life of an average teenager. They should become conscientious and critical consumers.”

So he’s advocating that teenagers become ‘consumers’ of hardcore pornography rather than consumers of education and knowledge.

Whoever came up with the phrase, “Boys will be Boys,” I doubt had this in mind.
