What can I do to promote young people's understanding of sex by showing them porn or pornographic books when they are underage?

Showing underage children porn or pornographic books can potentially promote an incorrect understanding of sexuality and lead to further damage; they may be vulnerable to believing that the sexually explicit material they saw is normative behavior. Additionally, this can risk desensitizing them to potential dangers of unsafe sexual practices which could cause long term consequences like STIs and unwanted pregnancies. It could also affect their emotions and behaviors related to intimacy, relationships, self-image and social interactions as teens. It’s important for young people to learn accurate information about sex from reliable sources so it’s advisable not expose them to such materials prematurely or without proper guidance.

Showing porn to young people is not an appropriate way to promote their understanding of sex. It can be harmful as it may create inaccurate or twisted ideas about sexuality and give a wrong impression of consent. There are better ways to inform young people about sex, such as trustworthy websites, educational books and films made for this purpose. Open communication between parents and children is also recommended.
