A mum says she watches porn with her sons as a way to educate them about sex.
Indonesian popstar Wahyu Setyaning Budi, known as Yuni Shara, took part in a frank interview on YouTube where she said it was 'impossible' for children these days not to watch porn and that she believes it's best not to tell them off if you do end up catching your kids watching adult content.
During the interview 49-year-old Yuni said: "My children also happen to be open-minded.

"It's impossible for our children nowadays to not watch porn, whether it's 'anime' or any other kind that are available nowadays."
According to CNN Indonesia, Yuni freely allows her kids to watch porn.
She also said she even watches porn with her sons, admitting this may be a step too far for them.

She said that while doing this she asks: "What do you guys think about watching together like this, is it cool?" to which they reply: "Mom, don't be like this."
Although it may seem like a fairly unique parenting technique, Agstried Piether a Youth Education Psychologist at Rumah Dandelion told Indonesia outlet Antara News that Yuni was right not to scold her children after catching them watching porn.
Although Piether did go on to say that not being angry at your kid for watching X-rated content isn't quite the same as sitting down and watching it with them.
She said: "That's right, when you catch a child watching porn, no matter how panicked you are, you should not be angry because in the end the child will only do it again in secret. Instead, ask the child what prompted him to watch porn? Curious?

"Through the discussion, parents can provide factual sex education, based on science, not based on pornographic films."
Last year, a therapist went viral after he shared a TikTok video revealing what can happen if people watch too much porn.
Paul Sheppard, who describes himself as a mindset coach and anxiety specialist, shared numerous videos on his TikTok page in which he warned people about he potential dangers.

In one clip, Paul said: "Here are some ways porn can f*** up your brain. And also f*** up your life.
"Too much porn can mean that your brain begins to rewire itself so that you prefer porn instead of having sex with a real person.
"Too much porn use has been linked to performance anxiety, erectile dysfunction, sexual inadequacy and also body image negativity."

He then goes on to explain just how porn becomes addictive for some people, adding: "Porn is a super stimulant, in other words it boosts your dopamine levels unnaturally high. This makes it extremely addictive for some people.
"It also makes other things around you much less pleasurable because the only way you can get that really good feeling is to go back to porn."
