Wow, thank you so much for sharing this difficult to read (yet very important) information. My key takeaway—talk openly with your kids about porn (the good, the bad, the ugly) and it’s far less likely that it will become addictive and have significant negative impacts on their lives! Thanks again 🙏
Hard to read some of this, especially exposure at such young ages and the amount of consumption some kids have, but appreciate your shining the light on this subject. Thank you - I’m using your article for discussion, both personally and professionally.
Yeah, this one’s rough - wasn’t looking forward to writing it, but it’s SO important and relevant. Thanks as always for taking the time to read. And to write!
You’re absolutely right to frame this as a parenting issue. Watching porn is a shameful act. And if trust isn’t built between parent and child — like between Jason and his own parents — then the necessary conversations won’t happen.
Keeping things light or funny can help to build that trust, but we shouldn’t make light of porn itself. It’s a spiritual poison, as Josh noted — and parents need to say that clearly and often.

Thank you for this information and these guidelines on how to have a healthy, shame-free and connecting conversation about porn.
So tricky yet so important!
