Just seen the first episode of this show. My, what a downer! Protect kids from porn campaign?! This show an antidote to porn?! Still, I suppose the warning was in the title itself (The S** E******** S*** vs Porn). Porn was never going to be the winner, especially from a show where all the main producers (according to the closing credits) were women, the presenter was also a woman, and it was on Channel 4 (home of such heterosexually male friendly shows such as Shameless, Skins, Hollyoaks, etc., NOT!).

I totally agree with Reggie,think back to the first 10 years of channel 4,you would never have seen cack like this anywhere on the schedules. Back then it was quality,grown up programming similar to what bbc4 is now. Nowadays the whole output is stinkingly bad and exploitative rality tv and property shows for rich people. The channel is complete shite.

I dont want to dumb down what is an interesting thread with some good points being made, but the best thing to come out of the programme was the presenter! Wouldnt mind tugging one out over her!!
I do find it sad that porn, and the people who watch it, are somehow demonised by progrmmes like this.

I agree with what has been said on this thread and this programme was more about anti-porn than sex education as most of the students who were interviewed seemed to know enough about sex and didnt need to much educating on the subject, but i do agree that porn does sometimes give out the wrong image on peoples body shape, but not all porn does look at amateur porn sites and you will see an array of different bodies and even on professional sites you can like OEJs Real Couples, but if nudity was more commonplace there would be a lot less people around with misgivings about their bodies and the fact that this programme did show just your average females naked was a good thing anyway its the turn of the blokes tonight to flash their todgers so expect a few gasps when they reveal all.
And who was this male performer who had a thing about Donna Derriere cant say i have ever heard of him but he will be making a name for himself now, i wonder if he replied to the many post we get on these forums from TV production companies for people to appear on their progs, sympathcically of course !wink!

Hi Planet,
Im gonna step up and defend damian on this as he had a totally noble agenda for doing this show and I got to say I quite liked the first season of this show as it showed and explained a lot of things bu tits agenda with porn is inaccurate and poorly researched (finding child porn in less than a minute on being on the web??? Did they get hokked up with a paedophile ring or something???)
Damaians intentions was to focus on the industrys attitude to its health and though I warned him about tv he was aware of the warnings anyway but thought it would be a good thing to address this as it has never been addressed before and personally I think th elad came out well on the show for it, thing is the point was lost i stark contrast to the shows anti porn stance. The show wasnt even beingobjective to the fact the porn industry is what it is because the public have pumped their hard earned in since time immemorial to make it the behemoth it is today.
Hopw about porn made the internet. The people made the internet a success because of porn but was any of this mentioned???
If you didnt blink at one point you would have seen the back of my head as I was th eone shooting them for Real Couples that day but I didnt agree to be interviewed or mic'd up because I know what I am doing and what I say would be qurestionable to conservative minds and in the words of Jack Nicholson in "A Few Good Men" ....You cannot handle the truth ...the truth of how videos are made, the arse cleaning, the periods, the sponges etc...But these are the things that seperate porn from the real world from what the average man can handle.
I was hoping the show would have had more integrity in showing this for what it really was but in the end it was a poorly researched and badly misrepresented show on the porn industry.
I have to say I didnt think it would be as bad as that but I think Damian came out ok.
Should the industry tell them

Should the industry tell them how it feels?

The mesage may have been anti porn,but there was a really seedy feel about this show,really not right for sex education purposes. These are kids we are talking about,seemed like the presenters were fallinng over themselves to play up the porn angle for the cameras.
