The “Sex, diversity and porn” quiz is aimed at young people and takes a playful approach to questions that are often associated with shame. It not only teaches the safe handling of intimate images, but also provides information on what is legally permitted from what age, what is meant by transsexuality and intersexuality and what contraceptive options are available. In the feedback, young people receive further information and find out where they can get more information if they have further questions.
