How porn is damaging our children's future sex lives
Newspaper | The Guardian
Date | 10.9.2016
Language | English
Country | UK
Topic Tags | childhood, pornography, smartphone, threat
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.

Summary | The author says that she teaches her daughter that the internet does not forget and that female nudity rarely benefits the nude woman in the long run. However, there seem to be contradicting cases. Women's and men's careers have been both destroyed and boosted by the leaking of nude images, sexting selfies, or revenge porn. Most recently, Donald Trump has been caught first defending his wife's honor and accusing Ted Cruz of posting nude footage of her modeling days to then later post images of his wife and Cruz's wife to make the point that his wife is hotter.
