Ever since the advent of Playboy and Hustler,
parents of teens have known to hide their stash of naughty mags and
DVDs, vibrators and lube to keep their adult playtime safe from
innocent, prying eyes. But more and more evidence indicates that parents
of young kids should be worried, as well!
(What?!
Are you kidding me?!) So does that mean my second-grade kid is quite
possibly more informed about the current sex trends than my husband and
I? No way!
That’s
why I set out to do some research and asked some of my “parent peeps”
to share their thoughts on the issue of kids and sex and the Internet
and how and when to talk to kids about sex.
“Parental safety controls” aren’t controlling much.
According to a national study,
7 out of 10 kids came across pornography accidentally online. In other
words, kids who search for images on Google for school projects stumble
upon uncensored, explicit sex pictures about 70 percent of the time.
In
fact, 40 percent of porn was downloaded as a result of an innocent
keyword search (the word “sex” ranks fourth out of the 10 most popular
word searches).
There
are even sites that deliberately set up precisely to trick folks into
visiting them, which are easy traps for kids. For example,
whitehouse.com is not really an informational site about the president.
It launches into a virtual black hole of sex pop-ups that are next to
impossible to escape (which was the case with my own 12-year-old son).
Even
recently, my kids accidentally saw oral sex recently while watching a
PG-rated TV program with their father and myself. It was terrifyingly
embarrassing, especially when my 14-year-old yelled, “Whoa, not cool!”
(at which point I secretly hoped he found the act repulsive, but that’s
not the point).
The
“easy fix” (or so we’re told) is blocking these adult sites by
installing parental controls. Well, what I discovered after surveying
approximately 3,000 parents is what the national study found — kids are
exposed to pornography more often through accidental (and albeit,
unfortunate) circumstances.
Many parents even confessed that their kids accidentally intercepted a sexy text, video or picture intended for a significant other.
Basically,
the old “block it and monitor” tactics are not even close to being
effective enough, nor does it address how to deal with the inevitable
when it does (and it will) happen.
Your kids WILL see it. Here’s how to respond when they do …
With the average 10-year-old having access to five different screens at home, chances are good that your child has seen some kind of sexually explicit message.
So
with that being said, at what age do we start talking to our kids about
what they are seeing? And more importantly, have we set the stage for
our kids to even step up and tell us when they do see it?
Luckily
for me, my son knows that I trust him and would never react
unreasonably — even though I wanted to vomit when my 12-year-old came to
us with a pornographic video that he could not get to close on his
phone. My husband and I remained calm and only answered questions that
came up. Then, we removed the search from his cell phone (a motion
recommended by other experts).
What our kids need in conversations about porn is clarity and (if necessary) consequences.
The
reason I mention “if necessary” regarding consequences is because if it
was truly an accident, the humiliation of having to talk to you about
what he/she saw is likely enough to keep your child clean for a while.
Lying
to our children or making them feel shamed for seeing something sexual
is a dangerous road to go down. It can lead to our kids having unsafe
sex at a premature age. One peer-reviewed study found
that boys, between 12 and 17 years old, who were exposed to pornography
had sex earlier and initiated oral sex earlier in an imitation of what
they had seen.
If
children are being exposed to sex as young as 6 … (and let’s face it,
if you’re sexually active, your kids have either caught you or overheard
you talk about it already) … then, we as parents need to start having
conversations about anatomy around that same age.
I’m
not saying to teach your first-grader about oral sex or orgasms, but do
teach your child that boys have penises and girls have vaginas (and
that babies come out of that vagina). Also that their bodies belong to
them and no one should touch it without their consent.
