Porn and social media are what teens are using to research sex according to a new report.
Teens are curious, that's natural. But the information they can access at ease is shocking, writes author and mum-of-two, Nicole Howes.
New data from the Children's Commissioner reveals that more children will have seen porn in 2025 than in 2023 with the average age to first see porn remaining at just 13.

Despite restrictions put in place across mainstream porn sites and Meta platforms, this report indicates we are still falling short of protecting our children.
We need to normalise talking about porn
While the Commissioner has set out recommendations to tackle evolving harms to children, it is vital that we normalise conversations about porn within our homes early.
I have personally discussed all things porn, self pleasure and consent with my children at a young age. I am confident that arming them with knowledge helps to keep them safer, even though the conversations can be embarrassing for both parties.
Our government and tech firms are not doing enough to protect our children so we have to step in as parents. When we were younger, we would have had to go out of our way to see porn. To parent successfully in 2025, we have to recognise that the playing field is completely different and yet children, as they have always been, are by nature curious.

Discussing porn will NOT make your children search for it
As an author of a book aimed at parents of teens some regular objections I receive include, 'If I talk to my children about porn they will be more interested in it' and 'I don't tell my children about porn because they don't need to know yet'.
The data shows that much of the porn viewed is seen accidentally, a problem that increased 21% from 2023 (from 38% to 59%). Parental controls are simply not enough to stop pornographic material reaching our children. Instead of trying and ultimately failing to avoid it, we have to educate our children on what porn is and what to do when they see it.
Another objection is 'I just tell them that it's disgusting and not to watch it'. This approach risks generating shame. They may be asking you what porn is having already watched it. Hearing you deem it disgusting is not going to foster trust – it will push them away.
How to start the porn conversation
I know it can seem daunting, but we can't as parents be too scared to approach it or afford to wait until our children ask the right question.
I've had our most interesting conversations sat in front of the TV. I take the opportunity to discuss those gasp scenes in films and utilise news stories. Yes, it totally 'cringes them out', but that's just tough luck.
What to actually say
Porn is short for pornography – videos that show sexual activity for entertainment. It's created like any other film, with actors, production teams, and crews. It is not real.
Porn is made in different styles based around fantasy and is not a true reflection of real sex.
The main problem with watching porn before you have experienced sex yourself is that it's impossible to work out what is normal and fun sexual behaviour and what is not.
Some porn contains acts that are abusive and misogynistic (showing hate and violence towards women). This is not normal or acceptable behaviour.
If you always watch a fake, heightened version of sex, you lose perspective on what is real, and you can end up with an unhealthy relationship with sex."
8 key facts to share with your children
Sex should feel good for both partners
Sexual pleasure on your own is normal
Don't rely on porn, friends or the internet for your sex education
Any form of sexual activity requires clear and enthusiastic consent
If it feels wrong, it's wrong
As your parent, I am always here to answer your questions
Above all, keep reaffirming that there is no shame in asking questions.

Why this matters
Recent data from 16-21 year-olds shows:
70% had seen porn before age 18 (up from 64% in 2023)
59% saw it accidentally vs 35% who deliberately sought it out
X is the most common source (45%), outstripping dedicated porn sites (35%)
58% saw porn depicting strangulation, 44% saw sex whilst someone was asleep
44% agreed 'girls may say no but can be persuaded to have sex'—those who'd seen porn were significantly more likely to hold this belief
Children's Commissioner Dame Rachel de Souza said: 'Violent pornography is easily accessible to children, exposure is often accidental via social media sites, and it is impacting children's beliefs in deeply concerning ways, particularly attitudes towards women and girls.'
