Sexting

Young people will, in a few years, have to deal with a world of sexting and internet porn unlike what my children faced. I have wondered why there seems to be an epidemic of young women ending up with photos of themselves naked on the ‘net. The truth seems to be that a few of them don’t mind. The others were talked into sending photos to their boyfriends. The boyfriends went public. . . . It’s going to be up to parents to discuss with their children the choices they will face. 

Pornography fills the gap left by our fear of sex education. But porn can be unrealistic and confusing. For example, porn sex is quite noisy because, as an expert pointed out recently, who wants to shoot a silent movie?
