    It’s not hard to talk to your kids about porn or the existence of sex. Masturbation is ok and natural.

    I think unhealthy sexual behavior comes from denying that masturbation and sex are perfectly normal and healthy activities. It’s important as a parent to let your kids know about the potential risks (STDs, pregnancy, porn addiction) and to educate on consent. Give your kids a roadmap and advice, but don’t blanket ban or shame and they should be healthy about sex.

      Well, except the traditional parents don’t think that way or just won’t do it, so saying that doesn’t matter in the cultural context. I don’t think there’s a solution to that except moving to a place more aligned with our values.

      Was that supposed to be a reaction to my comment? I was talking about expecting parents to supervise all and every media consumption of their children.
