A FLINTSHIRE mum aims to tackle the stigma around young people’s attitude toward sex by making a mum-approved pornographic film.

Sarah Sadler, from Buckley, will feature in a three-part Channel 4 documentary that follows five ordinary mothers with teenage children as they explore the world of modern pornography and given all the tools they need to produce their own 12-minute film.

The 40-year-old said: “I have got two girls, who are 16 and 12, and never in a million years would I want to sit down and talk about sex. It would cripple me. We still have made up names for body parts like winky dinky!

"However, when I started doing this programme, some of the school mums told me what is rife now are teenagers sending photos of themselves. Police are always called in and our local MP said it was a real problem.”

Working with industry experts, the women were tasked with creating a film that, not only works as pornography, promotes healthy attitudes towards sex and relationships for the next generation.

From writing and casting, to directing and editing, the women will have the power to show exactly how they want to handle the various issues that matter to them most as parents, whether that is something like body image or ethnic diversity.

The mum-of-two said that her film would focus on issues surrounding communication and consent.

Sarah added: “We are going to get people who will find something to hate but hopefully people will see why we have done it and hopefully it will now be a common conversation in the home. It is needed and it is missing.

“Even if we make the worst film of all, if parents go and have a conversation with their children then we will have succeeded.”

The self-employed photographer said it ‘shocked her’ at how easy it was to access this sort of material.

The programme comes at a time when more and more young people are learning about sex for the first time via easily accessible hard-core pornography.

Pornography is currently high on the political agenda, as new laws on how the media is accessed online.

Age verification systems are scheduled to be introduced across the UK later this year as children across the UK are viewing uncensored material through their devices, to the great concern of many parents.

Emma Morgan, executive producer of the series, said: “We wanted to talk about sex and porn in an open way and engage with everyone, and who cares more about their kids than mums? It felt like a really natural way into the subject.

“We felt it has real purpose to do something meaningful to provoke debate and encourage responsible conversations between parents and their children and draw attention to the issue.

“Sometimes actions speak louder than words, and we are very proud of the mums and the film that they made and the messages it conveys.”

Mums Make Porn starts on Channel 4 this Wednesday, March 20, at 10pm.
