Pornography
Children have access to the internet and electronic devices at greater rates, and with less filters, than ever before. When young people have questions about bodies or sex, they may turn to the internet or online spaces for answers. Their curiosity about sexual health topics is totally normal, and we want them to be clear about who the trusted adults and resources for accurate information (without shame or taboo) are. Creating
an open dialogue about online porn,
early and ongoing, with young people can safeguard them from unsafe situations.
Sex & Virginity
Conversations about sex are not about birds and bees; they’re about humans, bodies, pleasure, and consent. The foundation for these talks begins early and can help young people feel clear about who the resources and supports are for honest, accurate, and shame-free information about sexual health.
