How porn is damaging our children's future sex lives
Newspaper | The Guardian

Summary | According to a study, young boys in the UK are first exposed to online pornography at about 11 years old. Consequently, families need to have conversations about sexual behaviour sooner that what they might have thought. Also, because many boys own digital devices and because online pornography exists, it is important to talk to boys about that. There is a risk for boys who are interested in pornography at a young age; such a behaviour can have a negative impact on their sexual sensitivities and future relationships, if they mistake fiction for norms.

Child-friendly web backed by Scottish Government

Topic Tags | childhood, pornography, sexting, smartphone, threat, youth
Summary | Scotland's government along with several prominent companies and personalities are trying to raise awareness about educating children about internet safety. Only few parents discuss problems of online safety such as pornography or sexting with their children. Most importantly, youths should be taught about what they can do when they encounter content online that upsets them, that they can approach an adult, various help organizations available, or report inappropriate content.

Schreiben statt streicheln: Die neue kalte Liebesordnung
(Writing instead of stroking: The new cold order of love)
Newspaper | Neue Zürcher Zeitung (NZZ)
Date | 20.6.2014
Language | German
Country | Switzerland
Topic Tags | Facebook, smartphone, threat, WhatsApp, youth
Summary | Youth nowadays do not get to know their love interests face-to-face but rather through digital channels. A typical digital encounter would be a Facebook friend request, message exchanges and possibly the exchange of seductive images. Now intimacy means something different; people open up to each other in letter form rather than with actual physical contact. Cultural pessimists fear that while it is convenient that all of our interactions can be done online, this convenience may turn into a huge problem because people could virtually stay at home all the time and become lonely.
