| Teenage girls pressured into ‘painful and coercive’ anal sex because of porn |
Teenagers are increasingly being pressured into anal sex – sometimes ‘coercive’ – according to disturbing new research published in the British Medical Journal.
Straight young people are now engaging in sex acts which are often dangerous, and sometimes ‘coercive’, because of certain types of hardcore pornography.

Girls are said to be increasingly affected by the competition among teenage boys, in which they spur one another on to try and have anal sex.
Girls are said to be increasingly affected by the competition among teenage boys, in which they spur one another on to try and have anal sex.
One person told researchers: ‘Men wanted to tell their friends that they had had anal.’
The data collected in London, a city in the North and the rural South West, was collected for a submission to the BMJ.
The shocking rise in the number of people having ‘coercive’ anal sex was blamed on pornography.
Researchers from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, found heterosexual men were increasingly watching anal porn online.
Top searches on PornHub and other pornographic websites often feature the terms associated with this type of intercourse.
Researchers led by Dr James Lewis and Cicely Maston found that more and more women being pressured into having painful anal sex because it has been normalised online.
Worryingly, teenagers have internalised terms like ‘accidental’ penetration of the anal area. Teen girls are increasingly likely to accept these so-called ‘slips’.
Researchers wrote: ‘In some cases, anal penetration of the woman… was described by men and women as having happened accidentally… but it difficult to assess the extent to which events described as “slips” were genuinely unintentional.’
Once they’ve ‘slipped’, many teenage boys are said to refuse to even slow down the pace of intercourse, as painful anal sex is becoming normalised.
These techniques were considered ‘normal’ by teens who responded to the study and girls were simply expected to be in pain.
Researchers were shocked to discover that teens are becoming so used to anal sex it affects how they speak about it.
They wrote: ‘Young people’s narratives normalised coercive, painful and unsafe anal.’
However the researchers, who published their data today, are now hinting at authorities’ need to act.
They added there must be ‘harm reduction efforts targeting anal sex to help encourage discussion about mutuality and consent, reduce risky and painful techniques and challenge views that normalise coercion’.
