#83: Internet Porn, The Impact On Teens And Tweens And What You Can Do (with Amy Lang)
Internet PORN. Yep, that cell phone your kid has in their hand at all times – it’s where they’re getting their sex education. By the time your kid is 9, 10, maybe 11, they’ve either accidentally or intentionally seen some sort of pornography online. And we’re not talking the innocent porn of a few decades ago. Nope, some of this stuff is nightmare-inducing and can be very damaging to kid and teens. What do you do? Well, today’s guest, Amy Lang, a sexual health education expert, podcaster, author, and all-around wonderful human, is going to lay it out for you. And, you HAVE to give her podcast, Amy Lang’s Just Say This, a listen immediately! OMG – just the best thing ever to listen to for understanding how to talk to your kids, tweens and teens about sex (like EVERYTHING about sex!!!)
