Masturbation. It’s not a topic that typically comes up around the dinner table. It probably doesn’t come up around any table if your kids are there no mater where that table is. It’s just one of those things you hope you don’t have to deal with. And if you accidently catch your kids in the act, then that could be one of the most embarrassing and awkward moments in both your lives....
My four-year-old took off her underwear and started rubbing herself on the floor!
My two-year-old can’t keep his hands away from his penis!
I walked in on my eleven-year-old daughter masturbating under the sheets!
I found my fifteen-year-old looking at pornography online and masturbating!

When I was little, computers were about the size of an average American home’s first floor, and video games existed primarily in arcades. The world of fantasy, for me, was limited to nighttime stories, a few children’s cartoons and my own imagination. The only place I would have encountered sexual content might have been through MTV, which was just getting its sea legs, or through...
On any given weekend, in towns big and small, little girls and boys perform and strike a pose in pursuit of cash prizes, oversized sparkly crowns and big pageant titles. These pint-sized beauty queens (and kings) spend hours prepping so they can sport fake tans, fake hair, fake teeth, false eyelashes and flashy costumes to be judged on their outfits, beauty and the personality they convey on...
High-tech multitaskers are all over the place. Let’s face it, it’s only normal for most of us to be text messaging while watching television, while keeping up with work emails and jumping from website to website. Most of us think we do a pretty good job of juggling it all, but several studies have shown that people who are regularly bombarded with several streams of electronic information do...
When I was fifteen years old, my friends decided to rent Pulp Fiction. I was trying to be a “good girl”, but I felt too insecure to let my friends know that I didn’t feel comfortable with watching the movie, which, despite it’s great artistic value, I knew to be very violent and graphic. So what did I do? I pretended to fall asleep about five minutes into the movie. There I was, in a room...
Here’s a word you probably haven't heard of before: Teledildonics. It’s a word you probably wish you didn’t have to know about. But since one of the things we try to do here is make sure parents aren’t naïve about what’s happening on the web in regards to porn, you’re going to find out.
Teledildonics, according to Webster’s Online Dictionary, is sex in a computer simulated virtual reality....
Whenever I talk with parents that are a bit behind the digital curve, they struggle to understand why Facebook is so important to their sons and their daughters.
One of my favorite old articles on the virtual world is by Christine Rosen, printed in the New Atlantis, many years ago. I just re-discovered the piece as I was filing a few new articles away, and I thought it was worth sharing a...
A friend recently shared this SNL Headz Up App video (which you should definitely check out here) on his Facebook wall. As the video opens, we see a young man and woman walking through their offices, outside through parks, down streets, etc. The voice-over reads:
“You’re part of generation connect. Whether it’s email, text or mobile web, you’re jacked in 24/7. Online, all the time,...
As reported on ABC news this morning, the UK’s self-proclaimed “Human Barbie” gave her 7-year-old daughter, Poppy, a £7,000 voucher for liposuction as one of her Christmas presents. Earlier in the year, she gave her daughter a £6,000 voucher for breast augmentation, saying that her daughter “asks for surgery all the time”.
