Kids and Porn

Not that long ago an old friend of mine contacted me about her daughter. She was eleven years old and had been getting in trouble at school for talking about sex. Then my friend discovered a bunch of hardcore porn sites in her daughter’s browser history. She was understandably concerned as her daughter was so young and the content was so intense.

My first suggestion was to sit down with her daughter and discuss the sexual values that she wanted to pass along. I advised that she lay out the whole enchilada: sexual pleasure, the pros and cons of having sex as a teen, STIs, and pregnancy. I also suggested that my friend talk with her daughter about porn. Maybe even explain to her that once she’s older, she could explore the options of ethical porn: porn in which the performers are consenting, paid well, and treated with respect. I invited her to explain the difference between ethical porn and everything else. That it’s important to choose wisely when deciding what to watch. I suggested that my friend ask her daughter if she had any questions about sex. I invited my friend to try her best to listen without judgment, and to respond as openly and positively as she could. I also added that the conversation was an important one to have and would shape her daughter’s view of sex and sexuality.

I think it’s incredibly important to have these talks with children and teens. If they understand that porn isn’t “real,” that it’s a performance, they are much less likely to think that sex is supposed to look like that all the time. When sex and porn aren’t treated like some secretive, shameful topic, I believe that kids will have a much healthier relationship with their own sexuality. Talking to kids (and adults) about ethical porn as an alternative to sites like PornHub will give them the chance to make conscious choices when it comes to the content they view.
