Exposure to explicit images is linked to a rise in sexual aggression.
A new study has found a clear link between the amount of pornography viewed by young people and an increase in risky sexual behaviour.
The report by the Children's Commissioner for England shows those who've repeatedly viewed hardcore images are more likely to have under-age or unprotected sex, have multiple partners or casual sex and experiment with drink and drugs.
It also revealed a relationship between pornography and harassment of the opposite sex, with a rise in boys viewing girls as sex objects.
Miranda Suit is co-founder of the charity 'Safer Media'.
She tells Premier her advice for anyone wanting to broach the subject of pornography with their children.
