Pornography reaches today's children
Written by Eric Tooley I don't remember the exact age when my parents told me smoking was bad for you. It was very young though. When we saw people smoking, my dad said they were making bad choices. I do remember the exact age when I was offered cigarettes. I was 10 years old. I was playing with some friends down the street. They started smoking, offered me some, and gave me the typical peer pressure when I refused. I went home and told my parents immediately. My parents had prepared me for that moment. I knew what to do. To this day I have never smoked.
What is the best age to have the porn talk? Or the sex talk? It is the same as smoking. You need to do it BEFORE your child is faced with making a decision about it. You'll hear everywhere that the average age a child is first exposed to porn is eleven. I researched the source of this quote and found it in a study dated 1969!
You think the average age might be lower now? Yeah, me too.
