What Every Parent Should Know About Porn’s Influence on Children

from Parenting and Personalities · host Kate Mason, Stories and Strategies

Is your child's "sex education" secretly coming from free, violent online pornography? Kate Mason and podcast producer Liz Keen, creator of The Reality Of podcast, joins us to uncover the shocking truth that children as young as eight, nine, and ten are accidentally, or intentionally, stumbling upon highly explicit content, citing the average age of first exposure in Australia as 13. Liz reveals the most dangerous piece of content young people are consuming: the widespread depiction of acts like strangulation that is bleeding directly into real-life teenage sex, often without consent or knowledge of the severe, silent health risks, and argues that parents must overcome their discomfort to provide proactive, non-shaming education before the internet does.
