Nine-year-old boys ‘viewing porn while they do homework’

Boys as young as nine are viewing pornography in their kitchen or living rooms, according to a leading psychotherapist.

Chairwoman of the Family Therapy Association of Ireland Trish Murphy said technology now means young boys can access pornography while doing everyday things such as their homework.

“The average age of accessing porn is 11 and probably nine, 10 for boys,” said Ms Murphy.
