COPENHAGEN, Denmark – A Danish sexology professor is lobbying to inject pornography into the public school curriculum in an effort to teach students the difference between real and porn sex.

“Instead of having sex education be boring and technical, where you roll a condom onto a cucumber, I’d rather have us educate our children to be critical consumers who see porn with a certain distance and reflection,” Aalborg University sexology professor Christian Graugaard said, according to TheLocal.DK.

The idea is to help students distinguish between real-life sex and on-screen porn, which the news site contends is popular with Nordic teens. Up to 99 percent of Nordic teen males and 86 percent of teen females have viewed pornography. A survey in October found that three quarters of Danish men and a third of women watch porn, The Local reports.

Graugaard believes a structured discussion about the subject could help prevent students from attempting to replicate hard-core porn, which he said “is a recipe for broken necks and disappointment.”

Students like ninth-grader Anders Kaagaard think they could learn a lot from porn.

“I think you could get something out of it – for example the difference between real love between two people who have sex and hard porn and orgies from the US,” he said, according to the news site.

Graugaard told the Danish television broadcaster DR that he believes students over the age of 13 should be able to view and discuss porn images in sex education classes, part of a broader effort to revamp sex ed in general, according to Newsweek.

“You people, like the rest of us, are part of a sexualized post-modern society,” Graugaard said. “What I am proposing is that we reinvent sex education in the classroom. Rather than focusing on the technical disease-related or biological aspects of sex, we should also use this platform to discuss and show other phenomena, such as pornography, taught by trained teachers, so that young people can develop a critical approach to what they are seeing.”

“We know that Nordic adolescents are quite capable of differentiating between pornography and the reality of sexual relationships, but at the same time we know a small minority do not have those skills, and to keep them out of trouble we need to reach out to them,” he said.

“I’m not worried about the effects of this at all, the vast majority of Danish students at this age have already seen porn.”

Graugaard said numerous schools are considering the idea and most seem open to the idea.

His proposal comes a little more than a year after the Sex Education Forum – a coalition of dozens of organizations – released a guide urging teachers in the United Kingdom to examine and discus “real” and “unreal” behaviors in porn, according to Newsweek.

“The pamphlet directed teachers to a website called TheSite, an advice forum for young people, which tells teenagers that ‘porn can be great,’” the news site reports. “’Sex is great. And porn can be great,’ the website reads. ‘It’s the idea that porn sex is like real sex which is the problem. But if you can separate the fantasy from the reality you’re much more likely to enjoy both.’”

Chris McGovern, chairman of the advocacy group Campaign for Real Education, doesn’t think teaching students about porn is the school’s responsibility.

“You’ve got to listen to the parents. On the whole, they know best,” McGovern told Newsweek. “But I do not think the UK is anywhere near what is being proposed in Denmark, because quite simply, it would cause an outcry among parents. It would cause outrage and considerable anxiety.”

A poll by the National Association of Headteachers in 2013 showed 51 percent of UK parents don’t believe lessons on porn should be introduced until students reached their teens, while 42 percent believe children should learn of the perils of porn as soon as they can get online, according to the news site.

Only 7 percent believed it was never appropriate to broach the subject of porn at school, Newsweek reports.
