Diary of a Teenage Virgin (2013x70)

Data de estreia: Out 14, 2013

In this candid yet sensitive documentary several 14 to 19 year olds and their parents offer their opinion on intimacy and intercourse, porn and social pressures. Over the summer of 2013 the film follows the group of young virgins and meets a 15-year-old girl who's considering sex with a boy she met via social networking and a 16-year-old who believes she's the oldest virgin in Sunderland. The film witnesses a mum's painstaking attempt to teach her son that porn is not the norm and meets a 17-year-old boy who has amassed a 979 gig porn collection, but who has no real-life experience. Diary of a Teenage Virgin delivers a chorus of teen voices as they muse on what the right age is to have sex, whether pornography has taught them anything, what they think real sex will be like and whether their bodies measure up to the ideal. Diary of a Teenage Virgin is part of Channel 4's Campaign for Real Sex: a season of programmes that aims to reclaim sex from porn by exploring how the ever-increasing consumption of pornography is distorting people's expectations of sex and ultimately damaging the sex lives of Britons.
