Talking Porn with Young People
This day last week the @thisisleika panel spoke about porn and sex education.
We all were of the consensus that sex education needs to incorporate it. Including areas such as pleasure, consent, relationships and sexuality. Currently porn is easier to access than sex education and that's not going to change anytime soon. By the age of 9 many kids already have stumbled onto it. So start by having the conversation. There are really great resources out there to assist, such as #thepornconversation developed by the amazing @erikalust www.thepornconversation.org. @katemoyletherapy also did a piece this week for #ageid, the link is in her bio.
We can't ban crappy porn but we can talk and teach our young people, so that they may feel empowered and comfortable.
