In Episode 21 of the Wet Dreamz Podcast, we discuss the importance of talking to children about sex and pornography from a young age, focusing on kids between the ages of 1 to 10. We emphasize starting these conversations by age four, as children are likely to be exposed to related content early, often at school or through peers. The episode underlines the importance of having age-appropriate, ongoing discussions around sex, consent, and body autonomy. as well as the need for parents to create a safe environment where children feel comfortable asking questions without fear of judgment.
We also touch on strategies for handling common scenarios such as sleepovers, emphasizing the necessity for children to have the agency over their own bodies and to understand the implications of unwanted touching or exposure. We encourage parents to equip their children with the knowledge to manage these situations effectively, helping to prevent issues related to secrecy and misinformed understanding of sexuality.
