Hardcore pornography is just two clicks away for today’s children – so who better to rewrite the rules of sex on screen than their mums?
Of course I thought I was going to be watching porn starring mums. It’s the punchline that’s been adorning student T-shirts for decades: Support Single Mothers … Watch Porn! Arf arf.

The fact they are mothers is not necessarily surprising – a lot of people are – but it does add poignancy to their feelings about the effect pornography has on young people. When Sarah, a single mother of a young teenage daughter, starts shaking after seeing a link to a film titled, simply, ‘girl gets raped,’ it’s hard not to share her concern.
