Episode Eight

How do we talk to our kids about porn? Having conversations with kids about sex and porn isn’t easy. And as they get older it can get harder because they get more awkward.As parenting expert Maggie Dent says, “I don't think anyone ever gets completely comfortable talking about sex with their kids. And if they are great, could you tell us how you do it?”Still, in almost every conversation we’ve had for this podcast, the solution has constantly been that as a society we need to get better at preparing our kids for sex, and for seeing adult content online.And we do this for good reason.“The reason that we might want to have conversations about pornography with our children is because we care about them, we love them, and we want their experiences of relationships and sex to be really positive,” Maree Crabbe, It’s Time We Talked.So what is the best approach?In this, the final episode of The Reality of, we find out how and when we should be talking with our kids about sex and porn.Episodes are released weekly on Wednesdays from 24th September (Episode One).
