erectile dysfunction amongst 18-24 year olds.
Higher levels of sexual violence.

to watch to get the same hit. Leads to need for
harder weirder porn.

• Engage with leading academics and respected people in the area
and get them on board. Is this you? What are your thoughts?
• Possibly have a symposium of youth and parenting groups to seek
ideas on how to tackle?
• Approach PhD candidates who are interested in sexualisation but
who are looking for a subject.
• Seek funding for a website with resources for parents and young
people that they can use. Look at how positive options site delivers
their message. Include a forum for people with porn addiction to be
heard and get support. Look at how bullying forums work.
• Understand how Google and Microsoft could play a role, in that they
already assist Gardai with child porn
