Adolescents and Pornography

Please use this type of information in a loving and shame-reducing way to educate yourselves and your teenagers about the scientific knowledge we have at this point regarding brain sexual development.  Too many times I see this type of information being shared in a fear-inducing, anxious way that only exacerbates the delicate shame-cycle many of our teens and older adults find themselves trapped in.  Education is available to normalize people’s experiences, to give hope for change and to allow for spiritual concepts such as the atonement to be called upon in connection with intellectual process.
