VIEWERS were left in shock as they witnessed five mothers produce their own porn film in a new Channel 4 programme on Wednesday night.

Documentary Mums Make Porn saw the five women, who all have teenage kids, create their own erotic flick from scratch after being left horrified by the hardcore porn available online for free.

Their mission was to create a film which not only works as pornography but also promotes healthy attitudes towards sex and relationships for the next generation.

But the blue subject matter left viewers at home squirming as within the first 15 minutes they witnessed the women watching hard core videos, before witnessing porn stars in action.

Many took to Twitter to share their dismay with one writing: “This programme is shocking me more than actual porn.”

Agreeing another said: “Okay Channel 4 really has outdone themselves tonight #MumsMakePorn could well be the weirdest programme ever. What is happening to this country?” 15 15 15 15

15 Many viewers were left in shock over the explicit content of the programme taking to Twitter to air their views

And a third tweeted: “Have I just turned the TV over to a parallel universe. Nah. Can’t be. (sic)”

However, despite a few ruffled feathers at home there were a few viewers who were in high praise of the documentary.

One said: “#mumsmakeporn is amazing so far” while another added “#MumsMakePorn is absolutely fascinating. Good job @Channel4.”

Emma, Anita, Sarah, Sarah-Louise and Jane have been brought together for Channel 4 documentary

Mums Make Porn to write, cast and direct an adult film they would be happy for their teenage kids to watch in place of the more disturbing hardcore content freely available to any child with a smartphone.

The mums worked with industry experts and were given all the tools they needed to make the movie.

They were left completely in control – from writing and casting, to directing and editing their fully mum-approved pornographic film.

As part of their mission, they are shocked by the popularity of rape fantasies and traumatised by a visit to watch live action being filmed on set.

15 Several viewers, however, admitted to really enjoying the documentary

The violent footage makes distressing viewing for devout Christian Jane, who has a 19-year-old daughter, and leaves her questioning whether she can continue in the show.

Sarah-Louise is outraged by a clip of a man’s treatment of a woman during one sex scene.

She shouts: “If my son ever treated a woman like that I would kick his a**e to kingdom come.”

Britain is the second biggest consumer of porn after the US, with the vast majority of content skewed towards men.

So the women, picked for their differing range of skills, vow their film will appeal to women, too –and in the name of research they visit a live shoot.

On set star Zara DuRose advises two of the mothers: “Viewers always want to see the ‘pop shot’.”

She adds: “There are ways of cheating though. You can do flour and water mixture. Or Gaviscon as well.”

The Gaviscon could have come in handy on the next shoot as Sarah Louise runs outside to be sick.

Clutching a tissue, she says: “I think it might be the bodily fluids bit that’s knocked me.” Political blogger Jane tries to comfort her, but watching live hardcore porn has left her traumatised, too.

She says: “I feel absolutely ghastly. What I was hoping for was something a lot more real and intimate.”

The research continues with Sarah, a single mum to two daughters aged 16 and 12, finding out what the top-trending adult films are online.

Sickened, she says: “This is what’s trending right now: Girl gets raped.”

Breaking down, she says: “I know I was being naive but I honest to God did not think there would be content out there where a girl gets raped.”

The women’s concerns are lessened after meeting with “ethical” porn director Erika Lust in Barcelona.

Her films focus on female pleasure and use “real women” instead of those with the stereotypical porn star look. Forty per cent of her subscribers are women.

The mums are on set to watch Erika film a six-strong female orgy featuring crystal sex toys.

Afterwards, Emma says: “That was one impressive sex scene. If we can get something like that, that would be amazing.” Sarah is equally excited. She says: “We’re not as open about it in the UK.

“This just feels beautiful and normal. This is how it should be done.”

Putting the skills from their day jobs to use, the mums all take on different roles for their film.

Food stylist Emma is art director, while Sarah-Louise is in charge of the hair, make-up and costumes.

Anita and Sarah share the director role, with Sarah also acting as the on-set photographer.

Their final 12-minute edit, which is to be shown to an audience of industry experts, features two separate sex scenes mirroring each other — one daytime, one night.

Emma explains: “It is all about the build-up and exploration of the body and about asking.”

Sarah adds: “It doesn’t matter about your sexuality, the fundamental thing is consent.”

When it comes to the premiere, the mums cannot hide their nerves.

And, in light of daughter Hanna’s “brutal” verdict of one of the first ideas, it would seem their harshest critics will most likely be their own children.

Elsewhere the mothers appeared on Good Morning Britain where Piers Morgan blasted them for making porn that their children couldn't legally watch yet.

It comes as porn sites will soon be required to get proof of ID from UK residents before showing any X-rated clips – in order to protect children.
