What happens when you catch your 8 year old looking at porn? Well, when you are religious, you can freak out and give a very distraught lecture to your child. But what about when you’re an atheist?

This was a very valuable conversation for anyone with kids or who may some day have kids.

My kids were grown before the internet became such a large part of our lives so I never really had to address these issue. That being said I find the way sex is largely represented online. I wouldn’t want my daughter to be exposed to porn that tells her women like to swallow, or have men masturbate on their faces, or engage in anal sex. Likewise I wouldn’t want my son to expect these things from women. I suspect the gender gap you spoke of is largely influenced by the fact that the representation of sex online caters to how men, rather than women would like it to be.
