Internet porn surge fuels demand for celebrity-painted woodies (seriously)

Calgary Stampeder Jon Cornish, Olympian Clara Hughes, philanthropist
Brett Wilson and music sensations Tegan and Sara are just some of those
who painted "woodies" for an auction to raise money for the
Calgary Sexual Health Centre.

A non-profit group providing sex education programming to schools in Calgary says its seeing a big spike in demand for its services.

Pam Krause, who runs the Calgary Sexual Health Centre (CSHC), says requests for help are rising as kids are exposed to more pornography on their phones and iPads.

"We know we cannot stop the tsunami of pornography," she said. "There's just no way. It's not going anywhere, so for us the important thing is that you get good information."

Krause says the requests aren't just coming from high schools.

"Junior highs keep coming to us and coming to us, and really for the first time in our organization's history — that I'm aware of — we've had to turn schools away, which is really difficult for us," she said.  (more...)
