TV viewers have reacted with scorn to a new documentary about mothers making a porn film, with many asking why such seemingly faint-hearted women joined the project.
Last night marked the first of three episodes of Channel 4's heavily-trailled new doc, Mums Make Porn, in which five mothers are shocked by the content available to view online, and then make an x-rated film they would be comfortable with their children watching.
But online reaction was swift and sarcastic to some of the more extreme reactions the mothers had to viewing hardcore material.
Twitter users wondered why some of the women were involved in something so far outside their comfort zone
The most popular tweets in reaction to the show shared bewilderment at some of the women's reactions
As part of their research, the participants watched adult films based on violence, female submission and rape.
Sarah Louise, a mother-of-six who works as a beautician in Bolton, was so disturbed by what she watched that she vomited.
But Twitter user Boozy Joe called the show a 'load of sh**', saying: 'Throwing up because of "c**", how do you think your kids were conceived...!!!!!'
Another viewer asked: 'Sarah Louise has 6 kids, and is shocked by porn?!'
There was some positive reaction to the aims of the show but the most virulent reaction was sarcastic
Sam Martin tweeted: 'Drama queen alert. Sarah get over it what did you think you was watching, f***in Eastenders'.
On the show, devout practicing Christian Jane was very troubled her involvement might be seen as condoning an industry of which she deeply disapproves.
Twitter user Samantha Ramage said: 'I'm sorry but Jane on #mumsmakeporn is just being too far. She is on a show about porn although thinks "50 Shades of Grey" is too much.'
And Freya wrote: '#Mumsmakeporn can't believe this woman is gagging after watching someone have sex and another is crying at the word a***. ok hun.'
