Us Brits are known for being pretty uptight when it comes to talking about sex, and yet Britain is also one of the fastest growing markets for internet pornography.

And it seems this has caused all sorts of concerns and misconceptions about the kind of sex we think we should be having, how often and who with.

So, Sexperience is here to help you discover the truth behind real life sex and why porn has nothing to do with it.

  1. I like the very frank STD chats, but there should be a whole show on the spread of genital warts and the HPV virus, It angers me how ignorent so many people are to these diseases.”

  3. Last night I gave my boyfriend a blow/hand job for the first time and he was really respectful towards me (as always). I wanted to do it and I enjoyed it. I think I would have felt much different about the situation if it wasn't for his manner. He was telling me how good it felt and how amazing I was at it, which has really boosted my confidence and i'm definitely up for it again.”

  4. I have a boyfriend I've been with for some time now, before him I had had sex with a lot of people - women as men. But he is the first I've ever felt 100% comfortable with when it concerns sex.

    We have sex at least once a day although we have been together for 2 years and I can't keep away from him. During my period I give him a blow job every day but he obviously respects me if I do not just want to do it one day or two.

    Make suggestions of what you like, tell him what you want before it becomes a problem for you most of all, be honest - it makes it better for both of you.

  5. i have not had that much intercourse since i 1st had sex when i was 21 always wanted to wait for the right women to come along...have slept with two over partners since and know i dont think sex is anything to be embrassed about we are all adults so use the freedom of speach and talk to each over more and help each over life to short”

  6. It's a pity so many of u girls have had bad experiences at ur sexual height - I've been successful with the finger technique - turning it towards the bladder in a "calling" motion - touches the g spot , coupled with sucking the clit & using another finger to stimulate the out side of the anal area is most satisfying for the female. It is very rare for a female to orgasm with a penis in her unless the male partner is using multi stimulation as above , however please remeber to be very clean [ both partners] and if need be introduce a vibrator and lube into the sexual experience - take it easy and fondle each other - try to get the male partner to gently touch and tease on the female body - tends to raise the whole sexual expectancy and heighten the female response.”

  7. I'm fifteen, and felt a hell of a lot better about sex and relationships in general after watching the show and reading comments on here. It's absolutely necessary that this is taught properly in schools, and in SMALLER GROUPS, as I have been saying since about age ten! Seriously, if the nurse is going to bring in a cucumber/dildo and try and explain how a condom goes on it, at least separate the giggly knobs from the rest of the year.”

  8. There's been a whole saga on how porn is having image influences on both the male and female genders. I can't speak for the male gender but as a female being image concerned starts from way before you find porn it starts from cartoons. Look at the girls in cartoons and kids programmes. They are all thin. that's where it starts. I know porn is more influential because people watch porn when they are going through puberty and are confused about what they look like and what's normal. It all starts from before we even know our bodies are going to change.”

  9. In the program you discuss young people's use of porn. I think you're missing a really important point here:
    When young people want to masturbate, almost everybody will watch "normal" porn, that is, porn involving a man and a woman having sex. Some might like it a little more extreme, like 1 woman and 2 men, harcore blowjobs, anal sex and so on, but that's still to some extent normal.

    But when they talk about the disgusting video involving the two girls eating their own faeces and so on, they definitely do NOT get turned on by this. They watch it for the same reason many people watch the SAW movies and that kind of stuff: excatly BECAUSE it's incredibly disgusting. In the program it seems like you think that they get turned on by this, but I can assure you that that's not the case
    Otherwise I think it's a really good program!”

  10. As an older goth/fetish model i find "normal" pornography stereotyped and unhealthy. There is far too much concentration on blonde plastic women as the best type of woman. I think amateur porn is better if no one is being exploited, but the majority of porn I find offensive as a female. It is a lot different to real life intimacy and sexual relations which could be covered in sex education. I do not like boyfriends who are into pornography rather than real women. I think the way top shelf magazines are presented is very vulgar and unartistic”

  14. I was brought up in a very religiosly conservative background
    my parents attatched allot of guilt and fear to sex and fantasy
    they claimed that thinking about sex leads to masturbation then pornography then homosexuality then to rape and peodophilia of course this is obsurd and i now know they were just controlling minipulative bullys but i find in social situations and in personal situations with girlfreinds this kind of dogmatic indoctrination drives my anxiety levels through the roof making it hard to even socialise never mind have sex with a girlfreind.”

  15. Hiya, Im 18 and I have two boys. I had my kids when I was 15 and 18. I think schools should start teaching youngsters about the effects of unprotected sex (unexpected pregnancy) etc. My school only taught the usual, condoms, periods for girls, what a penis is etc, but why dont schools show people how hard it is to bring up chldren and that will help reduce unprotected sex and teens havin babies "for someone to love them back" Its not as easy as that.
    I would never regret my kids but I dont want to see so many abortions because thats not takeling the problem its a way round it. Prevention is better than cure. ”

  16. Personally i think what your doing is great and ive learned from your program and website, its great!. However, i like porn and i know alot is exxagerated (esspecially in really bad porn)i can tell, but what is everyones problem? I view porn as a kind of art and i dont think its wrong to enjoy seeing two people enjoy sexual intercourse (one of the most beautiful things a couple can do together) why does it feel that everyone hates it?

    I think people should calm down, listen to your advice and enjoy there sexual life! Instead of hateing it and trying to convince me that im going to hell.”

  18. if porn is so wrong and useless and should be banned, then we should ban soap operas and chick flicks as well.it isnt meant to be realistic, its just a fantasy that has been transferred from the mind to the screen. i was a virgin til i was 20,only watched porn once at a party and only because it was already on when i got there,but i saw nothing wrong with it. in some cases it can be an educational tool, but then again so can comic books. your partner wouldnt be having sex with you if they found you repulsive or a let-down compared to some airhead double-airbagged bimbo, so please just lighten up and stop burning witches.”

  21. Hi I have a question. I am a 25 year old female and I think about sex allot. Almost every day i spend hours and hours watching porn and fantasising about doing it. There is this guy I like and I keep on fantasising about us doing, but I know it will never happen. Every time I see him that’s all I can think of, how it would feel like to be in bed with him and to touch him. Is this normal?”

  27. I think this series as been great, a real insight into a big topic not alot of teenagers and some adults like to talk about.

    I only hope the good work continues and it makes some people stop and think before they decide to have sex and babies.

    We would all like to have the bodies of porn stars, granted, but its just not real, half are plastic. Let's all try and have more confidence in ourselves girls - who needs porn?”

  32. I am 21 and male, and have had sex a couple of times with a couple of different partners. But i have never managed to actually reach ejaculation while having sex, be it penetrative, oral, or just touching. Sometimes the sex would last up to and beyond 2 hours and eventually we would be too tired to continue. Do i just like the stamina to continue till ejaculation, or is there something wrong thats stopping me?”

I wish that all schools could take up this type of education to inform children and parents of the dangers. We as a family sit down and have watched all the sex education programmes. We have discussions, I have 3 children aged 15, 12, 9.This programme has informed me of the latest craz. The sex education i had at school was 2 tutors didn't know what their where taking about.

  38. Anna has made some very valid comments and it is definitely worth mentioning that just because models in porn do all sorts of weird and wonderful things, that doesn't mean we should feel pressured to.

    However, I think it is also important to say that many of the acts and positions shown in porn can be part of healthy sex-lives. I've heard some worrying comments from my peers, regarding sex - "I won't have sex 'doggy style' as that's what porn stars do" and "I think anyone who does bondage is a slut", to quote a few.

    Sex is about many things, and one of those is enjoyment. Be as adventurous as you like, and don't feel that you need to follow any particular standard. If you want to stick to missionary position and only have sex twice a week, fine! If you want to have sex everyday and all around the house, that is also fine!”

  40. I think that the more repressed people are, the more porn they consume. During the American prohibition, people who did drink drank anything (harmful stuff that made them mad and blind) wihtout restraint, and I wonder if we do not have the same phenomenon with porn? As for the people who think sex education will create even more teenage pregnancies: I do not remember prohibition having been a great success in terms of solving social issues created by alcohol quite aside from the crime and deaths.”

  41. as a 48 year old mum of 2 teenage daughters,thank you for this programme,we watched it together and talked about it openly,we have a good relationship but discussing stuff is not the same as seeing it first hand.and just for the record we still have great sex in our 40s and believe me if youre not sure if you had an orgasm ladies-you didnt!!you will know-experiment under the covers when youre alone.”

  43. when i was in school i felt a lot of pressure to have sex at an early age a lot of the girls in school were popular and cool because of their sexual experiences and all through school i felt left out but im so glad i waited because most of them girls now have babies and have names for themselves and im enjoying my life having fun i think if programmes like yours were around then i would have felt a lot more comfortable having sex later on in life!”

    Posted by emma on 5th Apr at 8:45PM (flag as inappropriate)

  51. I really enjoyed the whole series. I was really lucky growing up, my parents were more than happy to answer any questions i may have had about sex, i even phoned my mum and told her i was ready to sleep with my first boyfriend at 16, and she advised me to protect our selves and to enjoy the experience. My school friends thought my mum was great. I know i was one of the lucky ones growing up to have such open parents. As a society i think we are letting our kids down by not talking to them about sex, then we shout at them when they come home pregnant. We are their teachers and they learn their morals and values from us, so i know that when i have kids i will answer any questions they have honestly, and talk to then about sex and relationships. The programme was informative and a little scary at times, especially when you highlighted how easy it is to get onto porn websites and even porn involving children, the internet should be regulated more responsibly by the service providers, filters should be fitted as standard to protect kids. Air bags are sitted into cars as standard so the law needs to changed to internet service providers, to ensure that only qualified technicians can take the filters off. The government need to do more to protect our kids.”

  58. By implication pornography is filmed stop/start hence the men seem to be able to 'go on forever'. They are employed because they are well hung and above average endowment. The women and men are very adept at faking orgasms for effect. Any correlation between porn and passionate love making between real couples is non existent.”

    Posted by Chris on 3rd Apr at 11:29AM (flag as inappropriate)

  59. i think porn definately puts pressure on girls, especially those who know their boyfriend watches porn, they feel like they can't live up to the girls in the videos, and that they should do more sexually which they may not feel comfortable doing.”

  61. I think problems arise when sex is treated as something that shouldn't be spoken about. I first told my daughter (now 13) about sex in the most basic form when she was just four (following on from a 'where do babies come from' question). I've been open and honest with her ever since, and I'm reaping the rewards, as she is quite happy to ask me questions, knowing that I will always be truthful with her. We've discussed STIs and sexual myths, just as I would discuss road safety or drugs. I don't want my girl being another statistic...”

  62. I walked in on my 10 year old girl with manga porn on the screen, I did tell her that the content on that web page was for over 18's only, she did look really embaressed. when we checked her history later she had been onto lesbian sites and all sorts. My daughter is now 12 and I would really like to start talking to her about sex but I feel restricted because you have to talk about adult themes with some one who is a child. Is that not taken as exposing your child to adult content? Though I watched your series with interest and gained some tips I feel that the content is too much for a 12 year old.”

  74. Hiya, i just want to say that i think that porn should be stopped! i know people will lose their jobs but normal people such as myself do start to feel self conscious about their bodies especially when your partner used to watch porn all the time and you look nothing as good as people in porn do. To be honest i sometimes get depressed about my body and my partner does tell me that i am gorgeous but i find it hard to believe when i compare myself to the people in porn. I don't see the point in porn because from my point of view its like you have no respect for yourself what so ever. However, i think that sexperience is really useful and does get you thinking of what could happen if you didn't use a condom. I wish my school would have learned me this before a had sex with my partner, dont get me wrong i love him to bits but i didn't know alot until i watched sexperience. I still haven't had any sex education in school and i am 15, but i am really glad i have seen sexperience. I would recommend school's to use sexperience if they are going to teach sex education.”

  75. being a bit older at 30 i dunno if i should be writing on here,lol but i thought i would share the fact that sometimes porn can be fun and add a little something to ur sex life ,, but then if u have the experiances i have with an ex partner ,, some men can become obsesed with porn and then expect the things they do in porn from there girl friends, my ex persuded me to do a few things i wouldnt normaly do and it left me feeling ill and dirty. some porn is ok ,, but the exstream stuff is only going to leave guys thinking this is the norm, and more girls feeling presured into doing these things.. i think porn needs to take a step back and make way for more education on real relationships not based on sex and have more mutual respect.”

  76. Having been brought up in a strictly religious house, sex was something that was made out to be a tool for blackmail or lies and only enjoyed by the "unspiritual". My only outlet was porn as girls were not permitted. School sex ed was a joke. The thing I learned from porn was that sex was enjoyable and it was not something dirty.”

  79. What really annoyed about the last programme, although I love it and find it interesting, it only said boys watched porn. Its sexist as i'm a girl of 14 and i really enjoy watching it. I think other girls might also be concerned if they do the same.”

  83. If only this show can go round every secondary school. I have allowed my 1oyear son who in year 6 and going up to secondary school in September i felt it was. something he need to watch, he found it embarrassing first but explained to him that its about bodies. I rather him have the information than him going out to find and doing thing that i dont want him to do at 13. The porn on the internet i found very alarming.”

  86. Thanks Anna for what you've said in the video, it's really helpful. I am a youth worker and I hope my young people are watching this series and logging onto this website. Is it worth mentioning re masturbation that it can become an addiction, the same with pornography? I'm worried for young people today that too much masturbation and pornography can bring on an addiction and then they're hooked on something that can ruin relationships and lifestyles...”

  87. Back when I was in school, girls were having sex from the age of 12, and the way they talked about it put pressure on those who were still a virgin. My view on sex is that it should be with somebody you love and respect at an adult age. my boyfriend does watch porn and it makes me lack confidence in my self image. I think porn has ruined some relationships in some ways because it is responsible for lacking in self esteem especially in women as they always feel the pressure to enhance thier looks to make thier boyfriend/husband more sexually interested in them. I think it's time to make people realise that plastic is not always fantastic. x”
