Too Young for the Sex Talk
[Eric is on vacation this week so we are repeating one of his most popular articles.]

I do not 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 stupid choices.

I do remember the exact age when I was offered cigarettes. I was ten 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 first is 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.

Can you have the porn-talk too early and create curiosity or spoil innocence? There is not a single research study that shows talking about it too early increases it. Most studies show a decrease. I never seem to hear parents having the same worry about other dangers: crossing the street, talking to strangers, or smoking. We shouldn't about pornography or sex either.

I do not remember the exact age when my parents told me pornography was bad for you. Because they never did. I do remember the exact age when I was offered pornography. I was ten years old.

My parents did not prepare me for that moment. To this day I fight a daily battle not to use pornography.
