Access to digital pornography

So one of the concerns that is occurring in the culture is, now that kids are being exposed to so much technology, so much of the internet, so much access to different ways to communicate by technology, that the sexual opportunities and exposure has increased in such a rapid fashion that most parents can’t keep up with it. And the normative curve around what should be considered normal from what is pathological or troublesome or addictive is rapidly shifting.

The ability to be sexual trough technology has increased. For example sexting is a new kids are now sharing and exploring themselves sexually. It’s a quandary for researchers, clinicians, and parents because some kids are going to explore who aren’t going to have problems. And some are. Just like some kids are going to drink and not turn into alcoholics. They might drink too much and they pull back.

As a parent, I can get concerned about my son, he’s eleven, when he seems on the Internet too much. We have to regulate his use sometimes and teach boundaries, and we can’t control everything. So it really is about teaching your children how to prevent themselves from being over stimulated. And so we’ve taught him guidelines. So you’ve got to teach your children what’s going to happen when they get exposed.
