Foreplay
“Instructive and poignant.”
Teenagers have always experimented with their sexuality, progressing from touching and kissing, to heavy petting, to full sex. But in an age where pornography is omnipresent and sexting common in schools, have the rules of engagement changed? Young people between the ages of 12 and 23 are interviewed about their first sexual experiences. What emerges is an environment of extreme social pressure and a loss of innocence experienced with feelings of fear, shame and guilt.
