Jonas has some ridiculously raunchy scenes in the new DirecTV Audience Network series Kingdom, and they definitely are not anything a JoBro of a decade ago could ever have imagined himself in.Ĭlips of one such scene show the former pop star getting down and dirty with a woman - but apparently he’s not that into her, because he winds up faking his orgasm. "Boys are talking about it, parents are talking about it at dinner parties, but they don't seem to be talking about it together.We’re pretty sure Nick Jonas flushed his purity ring down the toilet, because his latest gig is about as far from virginal as you can get. She said she hoped her play would prompt intergenerational conversations about pornography and sex. "Without this sex education that everybody can learn from … there is a vacuum and that vacuum is being filled with pornography."
"Female pleasure in particular is off the agenda entirely in the education department."

The head of the Australian Childhood Foundation, Dr Joe Tucci, told the Porn Harms Kids seminar earlier this year that exposure could lead to sexually offending behaviour.

"There are so many gatekeepers to the conversation, it was really challenging," she told ABC News Breakfast. The former school teacher said it was a difficult project to tackle because of an "extreme" level of shame and taboo around the topic. The project was organised by St Martins Youth Arts Centre artistic director Clare Watson, who will direct a new play entitled Gonzo that is based on the responses. "I mean, I don't look like that I don't expect every girl to look like that either." or does a better job than most of pretending.
