PORNOGRAPHY is destroying young women's confidence and creating a culture where women need to dress like porn stars to impress men.
Dr Gomathi Sitharthan, a professor of sexual health at the University of Sydney, said unlimited access to porn has distorted young people's views of sex and relationships and has long-term effects.
"If a girl seems to like being treated roughly, has sex with five guys, has sex with the pool guy or the pizza delivery fellow five seconds after they meet - inform them that it only happens in movies. This is not the norm," said Dr Sitharthan.
"Looking at porn is just part of growing up, especially for teenage boys and there is nothing abnormal about that. But now, thanks to new technologies, we can have access anytime, anywhere via laptops, tablets, phones."
Unlimited access has contributed to what Dr Sitharthan describes as a teenage boy's "distorted view of the world".
In turn young women are encouraged to dress and act in certain ways, and feel pressured to submit to sexual acts that simulate this pornographic material.
For many young women this means succumbing to intensive grooming rituals including Brazilian waxes, tanning and in some cases breast and lip augmentation to gain the porn star look.
For others it is about dressing in short skirts and high heels mimicking the style of porn stars to give an impression of availability.
In a recent article for The Daily Mail, Helen Porter a teacher at an independent girls' school, described teenage girls as "dressing like porn stars" and urged MPs to clamp down on teenage access to internet porn.
"They are all trying to have a narrow waist, long, slim legs and big boobs," she said.
"That's the desirable thing. Girls and boys are viewing more pornographic images.
"The boys are seeing these porn stars and saying, "I'd like to have a girlfriend who looks like that".
Ms Porter said teenagers began to feel pressure to dress in a suggestive way around 13 and 14 when they show and interest in boys and worry about what men will like and expect.
Dr Sitharthan agreed overexposure to pornography by boys at an early age can lead to addiction and affect their future ability to have functioning relationships as well as negatively influence their interactions with women.
A recent Family Planning NSW research study into oral sex and young people found that 50 per cent of young women said they felt pressured to perform oral sex on their partner.
Dr Sitharthan said parents could play an important role in talking to their children about what is normals and about the realities of sex.
"Parents must discuss (this) with their kids. They should point out that it is normal to explore, but what they see and hear is not reality," Dr Sitharthan said.
