This report by Safe.si (2023) investigates the impact of online pornography on Slovenian teenagers, based on an anonymous online survey conducted from February to April 2023. Key findings show that 44% of primary school and 62% of high school students have viewed online pornography, with significantly higher rates among boys. Most first encountered it between 12-14 years old, though over a third were 9-11. Girls reported more negative initial feelings than boys.
