Everyone agrees that American teens and pre-teens watch porn and almost everyone agrees that this is a problem. Science has proven that seeing sexually explicit images or videos at a early age does have adverse effects on a child's brain.
According to Psychology Today's post, it is a fact that kids watch porn no matter what and a parent cannot stop them, but they can help them by educating them about this.
Parents cannot just stop their child from watching porn. If they think that taking away their phones and technology will prevent them from watching it then they are wrong. They can stop it only if they talk about it and that too with full honesty.
According to Behavioral Health, when a parent talks honestly about sex with their children, they learn that sex is something to be valued and to be taken seriously. They learn that it is not something which can lightly take and they also get to know that they need to respect women and they also need to treat them equally as well.
Parents need to tell their children that whatever is showing on their screens is not true and it is all made up with the help of make-up, lighting, and camera angles. If someone told a child that eroticism in porn is a flawed and fake thing,kid, has a greater likelihood of understanding the gravity of what his parents are trying to say.
The most important aspect which they need to know is that all of the shots are edited, most of them are not even real and it never happened. They show something which is not true and is completely different in real.
A parent should also tell their child that things behind the camera are completely different. People who act in these videos, they spend a lot of their time talking to their partners and agreeing on few things, and they also adjust their bodies according to the camera angles, and before the camera turns on they use products like birth control, lube and other various products.
