What you need to know

It’s not a case of whether kids will see porn, but rather when they will see it.

Today’s mainstream billion-dollar porn industry provides free, widespread online access to extreme content. Much of it is degrading, misogynistic, and violent—and specifically targets young people, including children, through a variety of platforms.

Culture Reframed is the premier science-based, global organization of scholars, professionals, and activists addressing the harms of pornography to youth.

Through robust courses and resources, we help ensure kids build resilience and resistance to hypersexualized media and pornography. In turn, they can develop healthy, respectful, and egalitarian views of sex and intimacy throughout their lives.

Scientific, factual information with statistics and reputable sources. It is not shame based but factual. I love that and feel good about sharing it with others as a resource.

I do think it’s awesome that this is out there for parents. I will show my teen some appropriate parts as conversation starters. I think it’s extremely well done over all, comprehensive and empowering. ... The scripts for actually talking to your teen were what I was most interested in- it is such a hard thing to do.
