Exposure to pornography can lead to unrealistic expectations about body image and intimacy, says Yeap Yen Ying, community outreach lead at Women’s Centre for Change (WCC) Penang.
"Teenagers who engage in pornography or sexting may develop skewed perceptions of relationships, prioritising physical attributes over emotional intimacy, communication and mutual respect," she explains. "This can hinder the development of healthy, long-lasting relationships."
