Love & Sex In An Age of Pornography, a documentary shot in Los Angeles, Australia and the UK will be screened on July 26, 2013, on SBS2 and on August 15, 2013, on SBS1.

The documentary was created by Warrnambool researcher and filmmaker Maree Crabbe's, with writer-researcher Dr David Corlett. The film wanted for people to think and talk about the issue of pornography.

The documentary featured interviews with porn stars, filmmakers as well as young people who were admittedly fond of watching porn. But it focused primarily on the proliferation of violent pornography and how young people imbibed wrong sexual concepts from it.

In an interview with The Standard, Ms Crabbe said that "It was really interesting interviewing these people. They were incredibly self-confident. It is an enormous business - it is bigger than Hollywood."

"It creates the idea that sexually-explicit imagery is normal, that it's a part of life, that there are no risks to your emotional or social well-being. Lots of young people are taking sexually-explicit images now. There are real risks to young people - we have heard about suicides, bullying or people leaving school. Principals are seeing these problems come across their desk every Monday morning. It's not going to go away. We want to promote respectful, pleasurable, consenting relations."

The Love & Sex In An Age of Pornography documentary had a 20-year-old female explaining that "Boys, definitely watch porn and then expect something like that to be done in real life."

Another young female said, "Should be able to do what the porn star does."

One female named Chelsea said that pornography is "harder to escape than to watch it."

According to Susie O'Brien of the Herald Sun, "The documentary spells out what adults take for granted, but what may not be fully understood by teenage viewers - that porn stars are just doing it for money. That they often don't enjoy it. That they don't have that sort of sex in their own personal lives. That the male actors may take Viagra before a scene. That female actors have to train their bodies to do certain things."

Ms Brien also pointed out that, "The documentary also shows males are often the driving force behind the use of porn as sexual manual in real life. The young women say porn makes it harder to say no to the things they are not comfortable with, because sex is all about the male pleasured, not the female."

True enough, in the documentary, one female porn actor said, "Men are tearing women apart. I can't imagine how they would think that feels good."

A male actor agreed on this saying that men "have to play very rough with the girl and take charge."
