In the digital age, minors' exposure to online pornography is increasing. However, current data for Germany are lacking.
The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence of unwanted and wanted pornography exposure among adolescents (research question 1, RQ1), their attitudes toward pornography (RQ2), their conceptions of what constitutes good sex (RQ3), and their subjective need for education about pornography (RQ4).
Between 2023 and 2024, students in the 8th and 9th grades from various secondary schools in North Rhine-Westphalia were surveyed in a classroom setting using questionnaires. Complete datasets are available for N = 903 adolescents (85% aged 14-15 years; 54% male, 85% heterosexual).
Both unwanted (48%) and wanted (63%) exposure to pornography were widespread among the surveyed minors (RQ1). Their attitudes toward pornography were ambivalent: they described it as arousing yet harmful, as addictive yet fun (RQ2). In their conceptions of good sex, activities atypical of pornography (e.g., kissing, full-body caressing, declarations of love) played a greater role than those typical of pornography (e.g., hard thrusting, choking, anal intercourse, RQ3). The surveyed minors expressed a need for education about pornography, including its effects (58%) and its realism (55%, RQ4). Differences between boys and girls and between heavy and light pornography users are highlighted.
To ensure adolescents are not left alone with their experiences of sexually explicit media, it is advisable to address pornography as a topic in sexual education in an age-appropriate and factual manner.
在数字时代，未成年人接触网络色情内容的情况日益增多。然而，德国目前缺乏相关数据。
本研究旨在调查青少年中意外接触和主动接触色情内容的发生率（研究问题1，RQ1）、他们对色情内容的态度（RQ2）、他们对美好性爱的观念（RQ3）以及他们对色情内容教育的主观需求（RQ4）。
在2023年至2024年期间，对北莱茵 - 威斯特法伦州各中学8年级和9年级的学生在课堂上进行问卷调查。完整数据集来自903名青少年（85%年龄在14 - 15岁；54%为男性，85%为异性恋）。
在所调查的未成年人中，意外接触色情内容（48%）和主动接触色情内容（63%）的情况都很普遍（RQ1）。他们对色情内容的态度是矛盾的：他们认为色情内容既诱人又有害，既容易上瘾又有趣（RQ2）。在他们对美好性爱的观念中，色情内容中不常见的活动（如亲吻、全身抚摸、表达爱意）比常见的活动（如猛烈 thrusting、窒息、肛交，RQ3）发挥了更大的作用。被调查的未成年人表示需要接受关于色情内容的教育，包括其影响（58%）和真实性（55%，RQ4）。突出了男孩与女孩之间以及重度和轻度色情内容使用者之间的差异。
为确保青少年在面对露骨的性媒体体验时不感到孤立无援，建议在性教育中以适合年龄且基于事实的方式将色情内容作为一个话题来探讨。 （注：原文中“hard thrusting”表述不太准确规范，可能影响理解，这里保留原文翻译。）
