Most young people will have seen porn well before they start actually having sex. In the hope of settling anxieties and managing expectations, The Side Eye has a gentle talk about the differences between sex in porn and sex in real life.
(Content warning: contains nudity and blunt discussion of sex and pornography)
The Side Eye is a monthly non-fiction comic by Toby Morris, supported by NZ On Air. Read the rest of the series here.
