Provides 26 short chapters on how to discuss porn with your children starting with what porn is, common questions, building trust and a home of openness, etc.
There is an emphasis on the link between porn and the degrading of women, the impact on sexual (dys)function, the ease and ubiquity in which porn is accessed and how even very young children are exposed to it.
The message is not "if" your child is exposed to porn but "when" in a fore-warned is fore-armed way.

This book is a great guide for parents to talk to their kids about pornography, which is generally a difficult topic to know how to talk about with children. What I really appreciate about this book is the discussion questions that prompt natural conversation about different topics surrounding the issue of pornography. A lot of the focus is on building an open relationship between parent and child that allows for more difficult conversations in comfortable ways.
