Unfortunately, the data don't show otherwise. In a examine done in January 2002, the London School of Economics discovered that eight out of 10 kiddies between ten and 16 have viewed pornography on the Internet. If your kids aren't discovering about porn on line, they'll understand it at college from their colleagues (and sure also at Christian schools.) Some will see out about porn lensaxxx from their parents; I hear reports often where Junior came onto Dad's adult deposit and got hooked.

The only way the church can turn the tide on the adult epidemic straight back is when we address it with your kids, before the world gets to them. We have to get ready them for the intercourse unhealthy tradition that they will come in contact with and teach them how to cope with it; if we don't the data display your children and mine have a 50/50 chance of turning into a adult addict. (See How Many Porn Lovers have been in Your Church? for a consider the numbers.) Those chances are also risky to guess our kids' future on.

A number of you may well be squirming at the notion of approaching the main topic of sex together with your 10 year old, but there's number preventing the truth that our children may be exposed to pornography (that is, until we shift our families to a monastery in Nepal and enter isolation). We've to manage the reality of the tradition we live in nowadays, and take the initiative to equip our childhood for the battles ahead.

Planning starts in your home, before they're a decade old. I told my boy about intercourse when he was seven, and reduced him into the subject of pornography by stating that it's "images of nude people." We've discussed the Biblical construction for sex numerous times, and he understands that pornography is just a warped, satanic distortion of what God intended it to be. We've mentioned how damaging and common adult is in our lifestyle; my boy understands

he'll be exposed to it, and that covering his temptations or wanting to fight them by himself gives lust the power to principle his life. We've mentioned the need to avert our eyes from sexually unacceptable photos, and he's found on. Earlier this summer I took him to see a movie in a theatre, and each time a trailer was found for the "Dukes of Hazard" (which shows girls playing around in hot pants,) my son saw me turn my head out - and he did the same without me stating a word. (We need to design what we teach.)
