Anti-porn forces are particularly dangerous when they talk about kids’ exposure to porn. There is NO evidence that seeing naked breasts or couples having sex is bad for kids; there’s even less evidence that seeing pictures of such things is bad for kids. Four generations of European children have spent every summer at topless beaches and seen sex on TV, and they’re not any worse off than our kids, who are obsessively shielded from even glancing at nipples.

So–parents, is porn a danger to your kids?

No.

Unless kids are told that they’re bad or endangered if they stumble onto porn, seeing it won’t hurt them. If they’re really young they’ll ignore it; middle-schoolers will quickly get bored with it; older teens will get titillated or turned off, and get on with the rest of their cultural lives–celphones, tattoos, fashion, and that noise they call music.

Here’s what dangerous to your kids:
* Kids being told their sexuality is bad
* Kids being told they shouldn’t talk about sex
* Kids being told that God or Jesus or you know and judge their sexual fantasies
* Kids being told that condoms don’t work
* Kids being told there are lots of bad people out there who want to kidnap them and touch their private zones
