Viewers were left cringing last night as a Channel 4 documentary showed mothers watching an X-rated film alongside their teenage children. 

In the final episode of Mums Make Porn, friends and family gathered to watch an ‘ethical’ porn film made by a group of five concerned mothers. 

The three-part series saw them direct and produce a video to create porn that is realistic and promotes positive attitudes towards sex.

But the idea of children watching their parent’s hard work on the big screen left some viewers horrified – taking to Twitter to vent their concern.    

One viewer, Emma Burnett, said: ‘So, they are all sitting in a cinema, with their children etc, watching porn together? What the f*** is this?’ 

While another user, named Dewy, said: ‘Can’t imagine going to a porn film with my daughter.’

And another said: ‘Never mind what your kids are watching online. Imagine knowing your f****** mum has done this.’ 

The final installment saw the women piece together their film Four Play and premier it to industry professionals – with their family and friends also present.

The film was the culmination of the mothers’ journey into the adult entertainment industry, which saw one of them so distressed by internet porn she quit the project.   

While another mother was left in tears by the rape-based content they found and another threw up.  

But not everyone was critical of their final cut, with one user called Michelle saying: ‘I’ll actually be a bit miffed when this is over to be honest – I’ve found it rather entertaining.’

While another said: ‘Great to watch Mums Make Porn on Channel 4 as much more needs to be done to improve quality and conditions of people making porn and producing realistic intimate sex.’

Their children too had positive reactions about the film, with Alice, 20, commending her mother’s efforts, saying: ‘I think they did exactly what they set out to do.’

Anita, 43, from Manchester, is a mother-of-four and modelling agent. She brought along one of her children to the screening 

Even though her sister, Olivia, 18, had earlier pointed out: ‘It’s a bit weird being at a screening of a porn film that your mum has made.’ 

Their mother Emma, a former headmistress, had earlier said: ‘My daughters and I have a really good open relationship but porn is something you don’t discuss.

‘You talk about losing your virginity, the morning after pill and all those bits and pieces but you don’t talk about porn. When we were approached to do this project, I asked my daughters if they had watched porn.

‘Neither had and they were happy to say so. All their friends had. Their girlfriends thought it was unrealistic.

‘But the boys thought it was something they had to do and it was something they were going to do to the girls. I wanted to do this to get people talking.’

The Channel 4 show follows the mothers’ journey into the adult entertainment industry

Last month on Good Morning Britain two of the five mothers taking part in the documentary, and the producer of the Channel 4 show, told presenters about motivation for taking part in the show.

Anita said: ‘It shows real sex, real bodies, real people.

‘It shows the lead up, the build up, what it takes to begin those relationships, it’s communication, it’s kissing, it’s connection, and then, yes, it does show sex.’

She said she had become involved in the project to ‘change the narrative’, to try to help make it clear to children that porn is not an educational tool, and that parents need to have these conversations.

Sarah Louise (left), a mother-of-six who works as a beautician in Bolton, was so disturbed by what she watched that she vomited. Sarah (right), 40, a wedding photographer from Wales, cried while watching rape-based content during the mothers’ research portion of the show

And previously on the showy she said that 95 per cent of online porn was violent towards women – Channel 4 producer Emma Morgan clarified that 88 of the most-seen videos portray violence – and also shows ‘toxic masculinity’.

Producer Emma Morgan explained: ‘I think it’s like 50 per cent of all kids between 11 and 16 will probably have viewed explicit online sexual content, and that felt like an important sea-change in behaviour.’
