"We recently saw yet another controversy about sexual representation in
Australia. Melissa Kang and Yumi Stynes’ book
Welcome to Sex was attacked by
the conservative group Australian Women’s Forum, leading to the book being
removed from the shelves of Big W – and shooting to the top of the Amazon sales
charts.
As a researcher on pornography, I was particularly interested to see that
Stynes defended our need for sex education books by saying:
“Many of the discussions around … the putrid effects of porn on real-world
sex … come back to teaching about sex and consent and starting that teaching
young”.
This is interesting because the book’s critics also feel the same way - Women’s
Forum Australia says that it is “deeply concerned about the damaging impact of
pornography on women, as well as on men, children and society”.
It seems that wherever you sit politically, there is consensus that pornography
is unhealthy."
