THE FACTS
Why did I get this result
Sexual activity isn’t limited to vaginal, oral or anal sex and doesn’t have to involve penetration. Exchanging explicit messages or images online is a form of sexual activity. Not all romantic relationships are sexual. If you can legally have sex, you have the right to choose whether you have sex, or not. Sex can be fun and casual, or serious and romantic. As long as it is consensual, you define what your sexual experience is. Sex can happen between two or more partners of any gender or sexuality. There is no normal way to have sex, it is a unique and personal experience. Individuals with a disability are often seen as asexual or even hypersexual, however they can enjoy sex like anyone else.
Porn is an act.
Explosions look cool in movies, not so much in real life. Just like other movies, porn is made for entertainment, most of the time with people who are paid to pretend they are enjoying it. It doesn’t always represent the reality of sex, especially consent. Porn also includes material of sexual activity that is illegal in most societies – the content you consume can influence your feelings and desires, what you choose to engage with matters.

THE FACTS
Why did I get this result
Sexual activity isn’t limited to vaginal, oral or anal sex and doesn’t have to involve penetration. Exchanging explicit messages or images online is a form of sexual activity. Not all romantic relationships are sexual. If you can legally have sex, you have the right to choose whether you have sex, or not. Sex can be fun and casual, or serious and romantic. As long as it is consensual, you define what your sexual experience is. Sex can happen between two or more partners of any gender or sexuality. There is no normal way to have sex, it is a unique and personal experience. Individuals with a disability are often seen as asexual or even hypersexual, however they can enjoy sex like anyone else.
Porn is an act.
Explosions look cool in movies, not so much in real life. Just like other movies, porn is made for entertainment, most of the time with people who are paid to pretend they are enjoying it. It doesn’t always represent the reality of sex, especially consent. Porn also includes material of sexual activity that is illegal in most societies – the content you consume can influence your feelings and desires, what you choose to engage with matters.

THE FACTS
Why did I get this result
Sexual activity isn’t limited to vaginal, oral or anal sex and doesn’t have to involve penetration. Exchanging explicit messages or images online is a form of sexual activity. Not all romantic relationships are sexual. If you can legally have sex, you have the right to choose whether you have sex, or not. Sex can be fun and casual, or serious and romantic. As long as it is consensual, you define what your sexual experience is. Sex can happen between two or more partners of any gender or sexuality. There is no normal way to have sex, it is a unique and personal experience. Individuals with a disability are often seen as asexual or even hypersexual, however they can enjoy sex like anyone else.
Porn is an act.
Explosions look cool in movies, not so much in real life. Just like other movies, porn is made for entertainment, most of the time with people who are paid to pretend they are enjoying it. It doesn’t always represent the reality of sex, especially consent. Porn also includes material of sexual activity that is illegal in most societies – the content you consume can influence your feelings and desires, what you choose to engage with matters.
