• Resumen

  • Last month, the Office of the Children's Commissioner for England published the results of a two-year inquiry into sexual exploitation among children and teenagers. It reported shocking levels of violence, degradation and abuse, with girls as young as 11 routinely coerced into sex. Here, Limmer and Horvath point out that there is still much people don't know about pornography use and its impacts. For example, they have a poor understanding of the effects of gender, personality, strengths and vulnerabilities, or of the influence of social and cultural context. In particular there is a need for longitudinal research which may enable them to establish causality between pornography use and behavior. Most importantly of all, a research is needed that recognizes that young people are experts in their own experience and the most likely source of solutions.
