What does pornography do to adolescents? This question is met by sociologist and sex researcher Prof. Dr. Kurt Starke with a counter-question: What do adolescents do with pornography? The youth researcher views adolescents as active subjects of their sexual socialization, with pornography consumption being either a commonplace or extraordinary, significant or insignificant element of that process. According to his research and personal investigations, a fundamentally harmful effect of pornography on adolescents cannot be substantiated. This popular fiction proves to be scientifically unfounded. The author thoroughly engages with the nebulous concept of pornography and draws conclusions regarding its use in legal contexts. In this context, he analyzes societal attitudes towards youth, sexuality, and pornography.
