What's the impact of porn on kids?

Online Pornography & Children
If your children have access to a device with Internet access -- and it's a good bet that they do -- it's an equally good bet that they've been exposed to pornographic images.
A major study found that almost all boys and two-thirds of girls over age 13 have been exposed to online porn. Most exposure happens between the ages of 14 and 17, but thousands of children 13 and younger are exposed to sexually explicit images daily. Boys are more likely to report that they sought out pornographic images while girls were more likely to report involuntary exposure.
Impact of porn on kids:
Sexually explicit images and erotic art have had a place in almost every culture, so observing a sexual image is not necessarily harmful. But it's all about context. Pornographic images are often reflections of sex that have nothing to do with real life and young people lack the context to know that. The very fact that such a private act is being shared with the world obliterates the concept of intimacy, and intimacy is an important aspect of sexual health and safety.
Early images influence a young person's fundamental understanding of sexuality. People develop "sexual archetypes" or fundamental beliefs about sex, and viewing sexual images can become part of this development. If the people in the images look like people who could be a friends or neighbors then the acts may appear acceptable and an involuntary feeling of sexual arousal may make the act even seem more agreeable.
Archetypes become like shorthand the brain uses to immediately put things into categories prior to gathering additional information. For example, if you were bitten by a German Shepherd, the image of such a dog may become part of your archetype for fear. Sexual archetypes are developed when our brain stores information about the characteristics of images, experiences and/or people that lead to our sexual arousal, and the earliest associations with sexual arousal are very important.
The type of images kids see can influence their sexual archetypes and later sexual behavior. One study found that kids who had seen violent pornography were more than five times as likely to have forced or coerced someone into sex as kids who reported watching only non-violent porn. An association of sex and with violence or coercion threatens the sexual health and safety of your children and their future partners.
So what can a parent do?
First, use every technological resource available to limit your children’s access to pornography, including spam filters and parental controls on devices, software and browsers. If your child knows more about technology than you do, call your school or local library and ask if the resident technology professional can offer a workshop to parents.
But don't count on technology; no measure is foolproof and purveyors of pornography and curious kids are both likely to figure out a way around them. This takes active parenting. Open a discussion about online pornography and consider it a great opportunity to share your family's values about sexuality and pornography. Don't start by asking their child if they've seen sexual images on line; assume that they have.
Concepts to explore
Ask about the content of the images using medically accurate terms for body parts and sex acts. Acknowledge that curiosity is normal, and share that these images are fictional and have nothing to do with real life love, sex and intimacy. Then consider exploring these issues:
1. Consent: Did the people in the pictures look like they'd both agreed to the sex act? Did one participant appear to be coercing or otherwise threatening the other? Impart the healthy value that in real life all sex requires explicit consent.
2. Emotions: What feelings did the people in the images seem to be experiencing? Make it clear that that the emotions associated with sex should be love, affection, warmth, and respect.
3. Intimacy: No matter what was going on in the image, the very fact that it was being recorded and shared shows that there was not intimacy; share that healthy sexuality is an expression of deeply private and intimate feelings between partners.
4. Arousal: Involuntary physical arousal from viewing sexual images may leave a youngster both exhilarated and shamed. Sexual arousal is instinctual and autonomic, and people of any age may find their body responding with arousal to an image they intellectually find repulsive. A discussion about the feelings associated with the arousal caused by the sight the pornographic image will break the secrecy and with it the power the images have over the child's perception of sex.
Finally, while a demand that the child not watch porn is likely to be met with overt or covert resistance, suggest that the child’s future sex life will be much happier and more satisfying if he or she avoids it. Maybe use the analogy that learning about sex from pornography makes as much sense as learning to drive by watching a NASCAR movie. And, it can limit the ability to find the satisfaction that comes from sharing experience with a partner.
The thought of this conversation may make any parent uncomfortable, but here's the win: when you make an active effort to counteract the messages from online porn, you have a golden opportunity to replace the dysfunctional values with your own. And -- research shows us that kids keep listening, even when acting like they're not!

Study: Children Bombarded With Online Porn
More children and teens are being exposed to online pornography, mostly by accidentally viewing sexually explicit Web sites while surfing the Internet, researchers say.
Forty-two percent of Internet users aged 10 to 17 surveyed said they had seen online pornography in a recent 12-month span. Of those, 66 percent said they did not want to view the images and had not sought them out, University of New Hampshire researchers found. Their conclusions appear in February's Pediatrics, due out Monday.
Parts of the study were released last November and found that one in seven had received "unwanted sexual solicitations or approaches in the past year."
Some kids, like cyber-savvy 10-year-old Ryan Morano, already know how to cope, CBS News technology correspondent Daniel Sieberg reports.
"Something could pop up at any time," Morano said. "And if you don't have a pop-up blocker, you could be exposed to these bad pictures."
Online pornography was defined in the study as images of naked people or people having sex.
"It's so common now, who hasn't seen something like that?" said Emily Duhovny, 17.
The Marlboro, N.J., high school senior said X-rated images pop up all the time when she's online. Duhovny said the first time she saw one, it was shocking, but now, "more than anything, it's just annoying."
"It doesn't have to be a negative thing, but that shouldn't be how you learn about sex education," said Duhovny, an editor for Sexetc.org, a teen-written Web site on sexual health issues affiliated with Rutgers University.
In the survey, conducted between March and June 2005, most kids who reported unwanted exposure were aged 13 to 17. Still, sizable numbers of 10- and 11-year-olds also had unwanted exposure — 17 percent of boys and 16 percent of girls that age.
"It comes as no surprise that teens are exposed to both wanted and unwanted sexual material online. That's all the more reason for parents to keep in close touch with their kids, keep computers in a central area of the house and – if necessary – use parental control software that blocks inappropriate sites," CBS News technology analyst Larry Magid said.
More than one-third of 16- and 17-year-old boys surveyed said they had intentionally visited X-rated sites in the past year. Among girls the same age, 8 percent had done so.
The results come from a telephone survey of 1,500 Internet users aged 10 to 17, conducted with their parents' consent.
Overall, 36 percent had unwanted exposure to online pornography, including some children who had willingly viewed pornography in other instances. The 2005 number was up from 25 percent in a similar survey conducted in 1999 and 2000.
The latest survey has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.5 percentage points.
Online use that put kids at the highest risk for unwanted exposure to pornography was using file-sharing programs to download images. However, they also stumbled onto X-rated images through other "normal" Internet use, the researchers said, including talking online with friends, visiting chat rooms and playing games.
Filtering and blocking software helped prevent exposure, but was not 100 percent effective, the researchers said.
Better methods are needed "to restrict the use of aggressive and deceptive tactics to market pornography online" without also hampering access to legitimate sites, the researchers said.
University of Chicago psychiatrist Sharon Hirsch said exposure to online pornography could lead kids to become sexually active too soon, or could put them at risk for being victimized by sexual predators if they visit sites that prey on children.
"They're seeing things that they're really not emotionally prepared to see yet, which can cause trauma to them," Hirsch said.
Exposure also could skew their perceptions about what constitutes a healthy
sexual relationship, said Janis Wolak, the study's lead author and a researcher at the University of New Hampshire's Crimes Against Children Research Center.
Still, many survey participants said they were not disturbed by what they saw, and Wolak said research is needed to determine how exposure to online pornography affects kids.
"What does the Bible say about pornography?"
By far, the most searched for terms on the internet are related to pornography. Pornography is rampant in the world today. Perhaps more than anything else, Satan has succeeded in twisting and perverting sex. He has taken what is good and right (loving sex between a husband and wife) and replaced it with lust, pornography, adultery, rape, and homosexuality. Pornography can be the first step on a very slippery slope of ever-increasing wickedness and immorality (Romans 6:19). The addictive nature of pornography is well documented. Just as a drug user must consume greater and more powerful quantities of drugs to achieve the same “high,” pornography drags a person deeper and deeper into hard-core sexual addictions and ungodly desires.
The three main categories of sin are the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life (1 John 2:16). Pornography definitely causes us to lust after flesh, and it is undeniably a lust of the eyes. Pornography definitely does not qualify as one of the things we are to think about, according to Philippians 4:8. Pornography is addictive (1 Corinthians 6:12; 2 Peter 2:19), and destructive (Proverbs 6:25-28; Ezekiel 20:30; Ephesians 4:19). Lusting after other people in our minds, which is the essence of pornography, is offensive to God (Matthew 5:28). When habitual devotion to pornography characterizes a person’s life and he continues in sin without seeking help, making no attempt to stop, or feeling no desire to change his behavior, it demonstrates the person may not be saved (1 Corinthians 6:9).
For those involved in pornography, God can and will give the victory. Are you involved with pornography and desire freedom from it? Here are some steps to victory: 1) Confess your sin to God (1 John 1:9). 2) Ask God to cleanse, renew, and transform your mind (Romans 12:2). 3) Ask God to fill your mind with Philippians 4:8. 4) Learn to possess your body in holiness (1 Thessalonians 4:3-4). 5) Understand the proper meaning of sex and rely on your spouse alone to meet that need (1 Corinthians 7:1-5). 6) Realize that if you walk in the Spirit, you will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh (Galatians 5:16). 7) Take practical steps to reduce your exposure to graphic images. Install pornography blockers on your computer, limit television and video usage, and find another Christian who will pray for you and help keep you accountable.

Child-porn investigation widens at Prince George’s Schooly Title
The principal of a Prince George's County school was placed on paid administrative leave as officials investigated a volunteer who admitted to making child pornography recordings.
Some not surprised by child porn charges against school volunteer
An investigation into child pornography at a Prince George’s County school broadened Wednesday as officials interviewed more than two dozen families, placed the principal on leave and examined whether any policies on reporting child abuse were breached.
But officials offered few new details about how an unpaid library volunteer in suburban Maryland allegedly managed to make videos of children performing sex acts on school grounds during school hours.
Police said they have now identified 11 victims and expect that there may be more as the investigation continues..
Deonte Carraway, 22
Deonte Carraway, 22, of Glenarden has been charged with 10 counts of felony child pornography and related charges. He has admitted creating the videos, in which he sometimes can be seen or heard directing children between 9 and 13 years old to perform various sexual acts, police said.
Kevin Maxwell, the school system’s chief executive officer, said at a news conference Wednesday evening that the principal, Michelle Williams, was removed and put on paid leave out of an “abundance of caution” as the investigation at Judge Sylvania W. Woods Elementary School in Glenarden unfolds.
Prince George’s County Executive Rushern L. Baker III speaks at a news conference with county education and law enforcement officials.
Michelle Williams
Principal
The move came just days after the arrest of Carraway, who allegedly produced 40 pornographic videos.
Parents are demanding to know how the abuse could have happened and how it could have gone on so long without someone noticing.
Maxwell and other county officials said Wednesday that they aren’t able to answer those questions yet. “When we have the answer, we will be as transparent as we can,” Maxwell said.
Police said that so far, the investigation has found that Carraway directly abused seven of the 11 victims and otherwise abused the rest through his actions, without being more specific.
School system officials require background checks for volunteers, but they have not responded to questions about whether there are rules that spell out how volunteers should be supervised or whether adults are allowed to be alone with children.
They also haven’t answered questions about whether any school staff members were aware of suspicious behavior by Carraway before the uncle of a Sylvania Woods student found a nude photo on the child’s cellphone and reported it to police last week.

Some of the video recording and sex abuse took place during the school day at Sylvania Woods Elementary, where Carraway worked as a paid classroom assistant before becoming a volunteer, according to Prince George’s police.In at least one instance, a student was recorded performing a sex act on Carraway in a school restroom while Carraway recorded it on his orange phone, according to charging documents.
On Wednesday morning, a man at the address listed for Carraway in online records declined to answer questions from a Washington Post reporter. Carraway is being held on $1 million bond
Since we first allowed public schools to take over sex education, schools has become a breathing ground for sexual delinquets. We have gays, lisbiuns and others teaching them it is ok to be gay, we give out condums for safe sex, we tell them that save sex marraig is fine, gays can adobt boys and when a couple boys are caught in the bathroom they are called on the carpet.
By the time they are old enough to go out on their own they don't know to have a boy or girl for compaion.
