Porn: What's the Harm? Page #5

---

like the idea of him at all,

like, looking at porn

and sexual things like that,

because I don't think

it's sort of real life.

It's all like an act

and it's not really sort of sex.

Most young boys, they, like,

before they actually go to have sex,

they do, like, watch porn

to get a bit of experience

and knowledge in the whole game.

First in our survey, we asked people

to tell us how old they were

when they first saw porn online,

including downloads.

The average age

for first time porn viewing

turned out to be 14 years old.

But that doesn't give

the whole picture.

Just over 60% of those

who answered the question

told us they were

14 years old or younger

the first time

they saw pornography online.

Nearly a quarter were 12 or younger.

And 7% said they were

10 years old or younger.

Having seen

how easily accessible it is,

I shouldn't be surprised by

the fact that 7% of our respondents

were 10 or younger

when they first came across porn,

but I am. I'm still horrified.

As a grown woman,

I'm horrified seeing these images.

I can't imagine seeing that

through the eyes of a child.

Our survey also asked young people

why they look for porn.

Perhaps not surprisingly,

the most common reason given

was that men and women

use it for sexual stimulation

or as an aid to masturbation.

However, around 10%

of the 1,000 young people

said that, while men look

at porn for sexual pleasure,

young women do so

in order to learn about sex.

As one young woman put it, "women

for education, men for arousal".

And that worries me. Because if

they're turning to porn to learn,

how much of what they're seeing

is a true reflection

of what sex is really like?

I'm going to meet a woman

who should know.

She describes herself as

Britain's highest paid porn star.

Hello. Hi. How are you?

I'm good, thank you.

I'm Jameela. Nice to meet you.

How's things? Good, thank you.

Gemma Massey appeared

in more than 20 porn films

over a two year period,

but she's now left the industry.

THEY LAUGH:

Oh, my God!

Your shoes have a bedroom! I know!

This is amazing! A whole bedroom

just for my clothes and shoes.

That's a weapon! That's not at shoe!

LAUGHTER:

'Although Gemma stopped

working in porn two years ago,

'her films are on the web for ever.'

MOANING ON VIDEO

Would you ever go back

into porn? No.

Why? Cos no-one would else would

pay me that sort of money to do it

and I would never do it

for the standard going rate.

What is the standard going rate?

300 quid.

For what, what would you do

for 300 quid? For a scene.

How long does a scene take? Er...

Some companies, 12 hour days.

Some girls may need money and think,
