The term pornography or pornography (in its abbreviated form) refers to all that material that represents sexual acts or erotic acts in order to provoke the sexual arousal of the recipient.
Pornography manifests itself through a multitude of platforms, such as animation, cinema, sculpture, photography, comics, literature or painting, and has achieved a great boom in the media, such as pornographic magazines and including audio (phone sex), and lately on the Internet (wikipedia)
The latter has had a phenomenal boom in people's lives and specifically in the adolescent stage where the situation is more complicated because we must bear in mind that adolescents live a development process where they begin to curiously inquire to know the world that surrounds them in all areas of their life and at this stage is when some adolescents distance themselves from parents and relatives and begin to establish affective bonds with people outside the family who sometimes generate more trust
Remember that adolescence is a period of biological, psychological, sexual and social development immediately after childhood and that begins with puberty.
The adolescent stage is not easy to face when you do not have the necessary knowledge to do so and the appropriate measures to direct them and it is at this stage that they obviously begin to explore everything that surrounds them and it is not a secret for anyone that technology specifically it is the internet
It is the most common means of communication today for adolescents where it is good for many things but also very negative for others such as pornography that today is installed as a means of publication for the world
It seems unbelievable but many parents have had the topic of sexuality as a taboo and it is difficult for them to give their children adequate guidance about these issues but it is necessary that the family first of all, in this case the parents supervise adequately and with great wisdom. that their children investigate or watch on the internet because pornography is a very negative act for their mental health and one of the most viewed by adolescents.
About this situation and in the opinion of: Mestre-Bach, the consumption of pornography by the child-adolescent population affects their neuropsychological development, sexual functioning can trigger hypersexuality disorders because they are in an evolutionary stage in process, both at the level physical and socio-emotional as well as cognitive.
In this case, the guidance of parents and teachers is very important in the control of electronic devices and sexual education, which can help prevent the problematic use of pornography in children and adolescents, in addition to avoiding very complicated situations in the stage. of adulthood.
There are two agents of relevant information on the sexual orientation of adolescents, which are: parents and teachers, they are the most indicated to guide with the appropriate information and according to age, because if they do not obtain it from them, first from the parents They will look for inappropriate information in people not prepared for this and in groups of equals which are in the same conditions.
It is important to note that many parents today consider it normal for their children to adopt this attitude of watching pornography on the Internet without realizing the danger and seriousness of the situation for their child's mental health, because from experience I say so, since I am has presented situations of these with some of my students and when I have summoned the parents to notify them and look for the best tools and apply them to them to help them, they have come up with a surprise, they have told me the following: how do I tell my son! don't do it when I do too!
Pornography in all its forms is closely linked to obtaining pleasure and awakening sexual curiosity. In addition to reducing stress, increasing fantasy levels and allowing self-exploration, among other aspects. However, negative consequences for mental health have also been described, especially in minors.
It should be noted that this attitude of adolescents is not a game, but rather a concern that we must address before it is too late.
This was explained during the 22nd Dual Pathology Congress in which three specialists in the field participated: Gemma Mestre-Bach, research teaching staff (PDI) from the International University of La Rioja; José Antonio Navarro Sanchís, psychiatrist at the Vall d'Hebrón University Hospital (Barcelona); and Carlos Chiclana, also a psychiatrist who runs his own clinic in Madrid.
All three coincide and maintain that problematic sexualized behaviors and a certain predisposition to an early initiation of sexual activity could be generated with unrealistic expectations of these relationships, risky sexual behaviors, sexual aggressiveness, distortion of gender roles and objectification of the woman.
As a teacher and mother, I advise the need to implement adequate guidance strategies to solve this habit in adolescents, taking into consideration that today more than ever, accessing this attitude is made easier due to the access to the Internet which is offering its advertising about content. pornographic at all times and in some cases it is the way of young people and adolescents to seek information about sex education and to be on a par with others.
Parents: do not leave your responsibility to others since no one will do it better than you, it is your behavior and guidance that your children really need to be able to grow and develop physically and mentally, do not leave to another what you can do the best way and if you do not have the necessary tools to do so, seek guidance.
Our children are valuable and deserve the best to be good people
