"Once boys get to the age of being active on social media or the internet, itʼs important to broach the topic of pornography," Atkins explains. "Pornography often emulates rape and molestation culture. Porn is also often a boyʼs first introduction to sex, and it can be highly influential in his expectations about sex. "If you suspect your son is looking at porn or may accidentally stumble across it, explain that you want your son to have a positive and realistic experience with sex. Even if you see nothing morally wrong with it, I recommend explaining that pornography can be harmful to a developing brain and likely reinforces themes related to rape and sexual harassment. It has explicit themes that arenʼt healthy for a young person whoʼs just beginning to understand sex. I recommend setting up limits in your household and blocking pornography websites so your young son doesn't have the ability to access them."
