The recent discussion about young people's sex habits, lack of sex education and porn, gained momentum when midwife Katarina Svensson Flood posted a post on social media about how she often meets young girls who have physical injuries after "hard sex" in her job at a youth clinic.

Shortly afterwards, the government decided that sex and relationships should become a compulsory part of teacher education in order to strengthen sex education in schools.

"90 percent had sex that they wanted"

RFSU, the Swedish Association for Sexual Enlightenment, thinks that the young girls' stories must be taken very seriously, but says that the whole is more complex.

- About 90 percent of young people say that the last time they had sex, they had it the way they wanted.

I think it is important that we see this diversity of stories and experiences that exist among young people to be able to provide support and advice, says Hans Linde, union chairman of RFSU.

“Give students a critical look at porn”

In the debate, that young people are inspired by what they see in violent porn is highlighted as a cause of the girls' injuries.

When the government recently decided to strengthen sex education, it was motivated by "young people should get the image of sex from school and not from the porn industry".

Hans Linde believes that porn as the only cause of sexual violence is a simplified image.

- We see that these are larger and more complex issues.

It is about strong norms in our society linked to gender, sexuality and desire.

But he sees porn as a topic of conversation in sex education as very important.

- We notice that children and young people have a lot of questions about porn.

We need to make sure that they can talk about their feelings and thoughts about porn in school, so that young people are strengthened to be able to have a critical attitude and be able to reflect on porn.
