Pornography | Sexual Compulsions

Is your son pushing sexually inappropriate boundaries or watching pornographic content?

Pornography consumption among young adults and teenagers has been referred to as a national health crisis. Current generations are growing up with the highest level of access to sexually explicit content the world has ever seen. The age of first exposure to pornography has dropped to nearly 10 years old and some data would suggest even younger.

Sexual content can easily be found by accident, shared by a peer, or advertised to you on social platforms. This content can quickly become a harmful coping mechanism that is abused and sets the framework for unhealthy boundaries regarding intimate relationships.
