 Young people

Pornography includes pictures and videos that show naked bodies or sexual activity. While some people use pornography for sexual excitement, you might also use online pornography for information about sex or because you are curious. When pornography is online, you can see it on digital devices, such as a computer, smartphone, or tablet.

Pornography has become easy to get in today’s world. Children often see pornography fo​​r the first time before they’re sexually active.
