Looking at <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lingerie<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> ads, finding <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Playboy<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> magazines on the shelf of your local store, or even hidden somewhere in your home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But since the invention of the Internet, there&#8217;s been a brand new era of exposure when it comes to explicit photos and videos.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And sure, the Internet has an endless amount of perks, and it\u2019s made our lives infinitely better. But with great power comes great responsibility.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Children are seeing, sharing, and becoming \u201ceducated\u201d by sexually explicit things they\u2019re seeing online, causing a whole new issue to tackle. And it all starts with the parents.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><strong>Why is it Important to Talk to Your Children About Porn?<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Firstly, it\u2019s normal for young people to want to see sexual images and videos. After all, we are sexual beings with curious minds. But the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">way<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in which you approach the topic with your child, tween, or teen will make all the difference.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s encouraged to approach the topic with a non-judgemental and open-mind, free of shame.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The aim is not just to educate and protect, but also to allow them to feel safe as opposed to feeling as though they\u2019ve been \u201ccaught\u201d or are doing something bad. This could have a negative impact on them, as they may learn that this kind of pleasure is worth <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">punishment<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s bad enough that there\u2019s an immeasurable amount of shame, guilt, and taboo surrounding sex, especially when it comes to women. We don\u2019t want to contribute to a world of adults who see sexuality as something to be ashamed about. Instead, we want our children to become adults who normalise exploration and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">discovering pleasure<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, all the while being safe and educated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With that, let\u2019s take a moment to look at sex education in schools. Surely almost all of you can attest to receiving sex education that focused solely on preventative measures, such as how <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">not<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to fall pregnant and spread STIs, and how to use <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/review-roundup-lelo-hex-condoms\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">condoms<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Some sex education curriculums even enforce abstinence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This kind of education merely highlights the dangers or \u201cnegative\u201d sides of being sexual active.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Were you ever educated in pleasure, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/hot-spots-erogenous-zones-women\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">erogenous zones<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/health-benefits-masturbation\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">benefits of masturbation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and orgasms? Highly unlikely. And some may even admit that they did not receive sex education in school at all. Could this further fuel the aspect of shame?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And then, when children realise that they have access to porn without the correct kind of sexual education, it\u2019s often unhealthy. Many have difficulty differentiating between <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">fantasy<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and reality, leading them to have unrealistic expectations of sex.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We know that sex is rarely like what we see in porn (which is often aggressive, violent, stereotyped, and full of exaggerated dominance and submissiveness). All of this can lead to a false notion that girls are always ready for sex, crave rough intimacy, and are simply there to feed into a boy\u2019s pleasure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Essentially, if you\u2019re a parent of a young child or have young children, it\u2019s safe to say that they will encounter, or even intentionally watch, porn.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And there are so many channels on which to see this kind of material besides actual <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">porn<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> websites. For example, spam emails, typing in a web address incorrectly, coming across a sexual website when typing in something non-sexual but that which has a sexual meaning, and seeing popup ads.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not just that, but it\u2019s impossible to control what your child is looking at all the time. They too may be exposed to porn at a friend\u2019s house, or have links sent to them by friends.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><strong>Tips on How to Talk to Your Children About Porn<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s no \u201cright\u201d way to do this. As we mentioned, it\u2019s just about having a calm, understanding, and non-judgemental attitude. It\u2019s a teachable moment, not a moment to shame and guilt them.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>For Children Under 10<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have a child who is under 10 years old, perhaps allow the takeaway to be that they may come across porn. In this case, you can assure them that you\u2019re always approachable if and when that happens. Allow them to know that you\u2019re available to talk to them about what they\u2019ve seen and to process it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also begin talking about normalising healthy forms of affection, such as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/national-hugging-day\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hugging<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and physical closeness. Talking about consensual sex between two adults is important, because <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/consent\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">consent<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> plays a large part in intimacy and sexual activity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best way to go about your talk is to use the correct anatomy, such as \u201cpenis\u201d and \u201cvagina\u201d. You could use educational books if that makes you feel more comfortable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Either way, talking in a simple and direct manner can help to remove any shock or disgust, and help them to become comfortable with their bodies and different anatomy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, letting them know that their feelings are normal can create a safe space for them to safely <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">explore their sexuality<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Middle School-Aged Children and Older<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s around this time that children experience puberty, which is when they\u2019re more likely to encounter porn (either by accident or intentionally). This is why having a talk with them before puberty is so important.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But, as they get older, continuing to talk to them about sex and sexuality is a great way to further remove shame and to prepare them to have healthy ideas about sex and exploration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because tweens and teens are at a somewhat awkward age, it may be more difficult to talk with them. That is why finding the right time to do so is crucial.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try to initiate the conversation in a more casual way, rather than an official \u201cwe need to talk\u201d situation. For example, talking whilst driving in the car or going for a walk. These two scenarios are great because it can reduce <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/power-of-eye-contact\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">eye contact<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, making it less awkward for them, and gives them a more comfortable space to talk to you openly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to talking to tweens and teens about sex and porn, it\u2019s better not to go the route of listing information or asking them questions. Instead, make it an ongoing conversation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You could talk about things such as the difference between <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sex in porn<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and real life sex. When a child, tween, or teen knows that (first time) sex in real life shouldn\u2019t (and won\u2019t) resemble the sex they\u2019re seeing in pornography, they\u2019ll be able to eradicate problematic <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/first-time-sex\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">first sexual encounters<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and beyond.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Talk about how their bodies are not merely vessels for other people\u2019s entertainment and that porn is staged. Mention that it\u2019s all been curated and is not a natural and realistic representation of sex, but that sexual activity should be an act of intimacy and exploration in a caring and consensual manner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s also pertinent to talk about consent and personal boundaries. A lot of porn depicts consensual non-consensual acts that have aspects of violence and the appearance of rape. Your child needs to understand that this is never okay without unwavering consent from both participants. Exploration is normal, but acting violently without consent is illegal\/morally wrong.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And lastly, normalising your child\u2019s feelings of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/men-vs-women-why-and-how-do-we-experience-sexual-arousal\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sexual arousal<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> will pave the way for a healthy sex life. Of course, you should also make sure that they know about the dangers of unsafe sex, unwanted pregnancies, different kinds of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/contraception-day\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">contraception<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and that staying safe, physically and emotionally, is important.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the same time, by allowing them to know that their sexual arousal is normal, and that you\u2019re always available to talk about anything, anytime, they\u2019ll be more likely to engage in safer sex while discovering new levels of sexual bliss, when they\u2019re ready, either solo or with a partner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In short, it is key to create a safe space for children that is free of shame, judgement, and guilt, and to take the time to educate them on sex, sexual activity, how porn is not real sex, keeping safe, and consent.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you open up a caring communication channel for your children to discuss matters with you, you\u2019re setting them up to be more sex-positive, more realistic in sex, and the opportunity to benefit from sex and masturbation when the time is right.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you grew up in the early 80\u2019s or before, you\u2019ll know how difficult it was to obtain any kind of racy material.
