# Pornography and expectations of intimacy — GEO

UW:GROW-085:en, r01. Local author master; production acceptance NOT_RUN. Original/GEO bindings: QA.json / DELIVERY.json.

## Audience and question

Parents, other caring adults, and young adults eighteen or over: which inference from an image became a requirement, and what is actually known about another person's present participation?

## Distinctions

Staged media is neither relationship education nor a study of what everyone does. Interest and bodily response establish no consent. Shame, control, and actual consequences need different questions; viewing is no home diagnosis. Receiving material gives no right to circulate it further.

## Available step

Use a fictional claim without viewing material, name an assumption and known answer. Stop after refusal; stop and clarify uncertainty. Adults answer generally without interrogation, help with the actual protection task, and check a report's result. No diary, intimate account, or further viewing is required.

## Boundary

The adolescent scene is not an adult sexual situation's legal equivalent. Clarify local age, access, protection, and confidentiality separately. Threats need appropriate safe assistance; immediate danger calls for urgent local help. Children neither investigate adults nor reform a whole group. A setting, request, and stopped violation are different outcomes.
