As surprising as it may be to parents, young people today are
immersed in porn culture everywhere they look. Through Internet
porn, gaming, social media, marketing, and advertising, kids today
have a much broader view of social and sexual possibilities, which
makes it difficult for them to establish appropriate expectations
or to feel adequate in their own sexuality. Even more important, no
one is talking to kids directly about the problem. Parents tend to
convince themselves that their children are immune to cultural
influences, wait until it comes up, or hope schools and
pediatricians will address the issues. Educators and doctors may be
able to start the conversation but it is fundamentally a parent's
job to provide information about sex and relationships early and
often to help young people find their way through their social and
sexual lives. Delaying the necessary but awkward conversations with
their kids leaves them vulnerable. The media, marketers, and porn
and gaming industries are eager to step in anywhere parents choose
to hold back. Sexploitation exposes the truth to parents, kids,
educators, and the medical profession about the seen and unseen
influences affecting children, inspiring parents to take the role
as the primary sexuality educator. With more information, parents
will gain conviction to discuss and develop values, expectations,
boundaries, and rules with their kids. Kids who enter their teens
with accurate information and truths stand a better chance of
developing an "inner compass" when it comes to sex and
relationships, which sets them up for a healthy adulthood. In her
comic and straightforward style, Pierce brings together the latest
research with anecdotal stories shared with her by high school and
college students in the thick of it. Above all else, her goal is to
get people to develop more comfort around those difficult
conversations so that kids gain more confidence and courage about
drawing boundaries based on their own values not those put upon
them.
