Taverner stated that children should be taught pornography and sex education in the year 2012. This position he maintained until February 2021.
Taverner stated in the 2012 interview, that some of his “erotica was useful.”
He said, “I think that there’s this yearning for information that young people have that… hasn’t changed. [The]Information delivery is very different. I believe that the internet is a huge influence on how people learn more about sexuality. You can access erotica and pornography. This was not the case for young people thirty years ago. It’s definitely not as easily accessible and certainly not as instantaneous. It’s not as easy to find useful information.
Taverner was interrupted by the interviewer, who said that some of it was wrong.
Taverner stated, “Something is wrong, a lot,” “But there are good things out there as well.”
Fox News Digital asked Taverner about his meaning. He said that sex teachers never wanted pornography the main source of sex education. But, Taverner also stated that in 2021, he explained that it was not what he meant.
He further claims that teaching pornography to students in the classroom is similar to teaching children how to use a condom.

“Returning to meeting people where you are, if they’re using their mobile phones, tablets, and laptops for this purpose, then we need a shift in our education. We must stop doing the banana on condoms and start thinking that we’ve done our job. So we need to present opportunities for young people to think about…, for example, their values.

“Sexuality education doesn’t happen in one moment of a person’s lives. It’s a continuous process. Young children are learning about sexuality from the attitudes their parents display… When we think of K-12 education… we may be talking about what makes a family, we may be talking about disease prevention… All of that sets the foundation for a basic understanding that is useful for further conversations when we’re talking about condoms… [and]He said, “Pregnancy conversations.”
He said, “Age-appropriate sexual education is so important.” “And we must let our experts guide.”
