“…Today's emerging adults, who are digital natives, likely received some or all of their sex education from pornography, as teens are more likely to turn to porn for sex education than a trusted adult (Rothman et al, 2020). Over half of college-aged people use porn to fill information gaps (Sharma et al, 2019), but porn literacy has yet to be integrated into sex education for adolescents. Stakeholders who are invested in helping emerging adults become sexually and relationally self-aware should invite critical thinking about one's relationship with pornography, including understanding that most porn is for commercial not educational purposes.…”

Emerging adults are attempting to navigate a rapidly shifting and immensely complicated landscape of modern love, often without meaningful sex and relationship education. Although individually oriented relationship education programs for emerging adults make a difference in the knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs of the recipients (Simpson et al., Journal of Youth and Adolescence, 2018, 47, 477) and most emerging adults report they yearn for relationship education (Weissbourd et al., The talk: How adults can promote young people’s healthy relationships and prevent misogyny and sexual harassment, 2017), these programs are not widely available. Educators who are working with emerging adults in a classroom or psychoeducational setting are well‐positioned to help emerging adults identify and enact healthy and purposeful relational and sexual choices. The first part of the paper orients readers to the “topography” of the modern love landscape by describing four macro cultural themes that impact the intimate lives of emerging adults. The second part of the paper introduces relationship educators to Relational Self‐Awareness (Solomon, Loving Bravely: 20 lessons of self‐discovery to help you get the love you want, New Harbinger, 2017), an integrative approach to helping emerging adults understand the self‐in‐relationship. Each of the five pillars of Relational Self‐Awareness is defined and operationalized, and specific recommendations are provided for how educators can integrate these pillars into their existing curricula. Clinical implications and future directions are offered.

In India, the prevalent stigma and taboos regarding sexuality prevent adolescents from acquiring information about sexual and reproductive health. This review assessed the school-based interventions for adolescents designed to enhance their sexual health knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors. Studies were gathered from 4 online databases: PubMed, DOAJ, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect. Relevant studies conducted in India among adolescents, published in peer-reviewed journals between 2000 and 2020, available in the public domain and written in English, were considered for the review. 14 studies were selected through database searches that fulfilled the eligibility criteria. Findings highlighted that school-based sexuality education positively influences adolescents to develop their knowledge, attitude, and behavior related to sexual and reproductive health outcomes. Sexual and reproductive health (SRH) programs and interventions are limited to small-scale experiments conducted in a few schools. The researchers recommend educating adolescents about pregnancy prevention, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), sexual hygiene, and reproductive health. Comprehensive reproductive health education programs should be implemented in every school setting to ensure that all school-going adolescents are convinced of the importance of sexual and reproductive health.

“…The use of SEM has become an important source of information and/or “sexual education” for young people [ 13 , 14 ] that influences the processes of sexual socialization, which persist in adulthood [ 15 ]. This can lead to problems related to false expectations [ 4 , 12 ], objectification, degradation, and self-objectification [ 1 , 15 ].…”

Previous research that has examined the use of sexually explicit material (SEM) in the Spanish population and its relationship with sociodemographic variables, sexual satisfaction, and satisfaction with the relationship are practically non-existent. Therefore, the main goal was to analyze the pattern of use of SEM (frequency, format, context, content, and purpose of its use) and its relationship with sociodemographic variables (sex, age, sexual orientation, educational level, religiosity, status of partner, number of sexual partners, and age of first exposure to SEM), sexual satisfaction, and relationship satisfaction. The sample consisted of 221 participants, with an average age equal to 29.88 years (SD = 9.73) and of Spanish nationality. All participants completed a sociodemographic questionnaire, as well as the Spanish adaptations of the Sexual Media Questionnaire, Global Measure of Sexual Satisfaction, and Global Measure of Relationship Satisfaction. Based on the results, it was found that men use SEM more frequently than women, that the age of first exposure is 14 years old, the most used pattern of SEM is internet websites with sexual content in which adult men and women appear, and the way to visualize it is alone as private stimulation. In addition, it was shown that a higher frequency of SEM use implies a decrease in sexual satisfaction and vice versa, while there is no association between the frequency of SEM use and satisfaction with the relationship. The importance of considering the use of SEM, both in research on sexual satisfaction and in clinical practice, is discussed.
