It’s an unsettling fact that by age 11 most boys have been exposed to pornographic images. Yet few materials on the subject address such a youthful audience. If you’re a parent, it can be surprisingly difficult to find a good way to discuss pornography. You don’t want your child to see sex as “forbidden” or “dirty,” but no matter how sex-positive you are, you sense that porn isn’t the best way to gain a sex education.
“Things You Didn’t Know About Porn” was developed with the assistance of a dad who teaches science. It helps kids, parents and teachers become knowledgeable about the potential negative effects of pornography use. Scientifically based and non-religious, “Things You Didn’t Know About Porn” describes some potential pitfalls of porn use in simple, easy to understand terms. It draws a parallel between junk food and porn, and explains why these activities have the potential to “train” the brain, and become unhealthy habits. This lets youngsters make more informed choices about all potentially addictive substances and activities.
