In preparation for our production of ‘Masterpieces’ at Dublin’s Smock Alley Theatre (March 2-7 at 7:30pm nightly), we wanted to get some perspectives on the big questions at the heart of the play:

Is porn good?

Is porn bad?

Is porn responsible for creating and encouraging real-world rape or violence?

To do that, we interviewed experts in the fields of assault legislation, victim support, porn, horror film, and kink for a short docu series called ‘Masterpieces: Face to Face’. The first episode is up now (above) interviewing Seanad candidate Ruth Coppinger.

porn literacy should aim to reduce shame around porn use. Only by reducing shame can we begin to have conversations about how porn impacts our understanding of sexual consent, body image and self-esteem….

…To date, discussions on what porn literacy should entail tend to focus on the negative implications of porn use.

This was echoed in reports from the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Education and Skills on how to improve relationships and sexuality education in schools suggesting that we talk about the risks of porn use.

But there are a number of reasons why we should not only talk about the risks.

Allowing for discussions on the positive, negative and neutral outcomes can help young people to understand how personal beliefs vary about the appropriateness of sexual practices seen in porn.

Having this knowledge can help young people to become critical thinkers….

Interesting to note that the British have quietly shelved the age verification system, the same one plastered all over today’s Irish newspapers as being “the saviour of our children”…
