Inoculating Kids

Pornography addiction and other immoral behavior are like a disease.

The Plague of Pornography. Most young men commence their pornography use at the age of eleven; there are approximately 107 million monthly visitors to adult websites in this country; twelve million hours a day are spent watching porn globally on the adult-video site Pornhub; 40 percent of boys in Great Britain say that they regularly consume pornography—and on and on. Bishop Robert Barron, Word on Fire, The Catholic Thing.

Or how about this 44 minute video from Dr. Dobson:
A disease can be prevented.

Historically, we inoculated against smallpox. We would prevent the child from “catching smallpox” by deliberate introduction into the child’s skin of material from smallpox pustules. This process generally produced a less severe infection than naturally-acquired smallpox, but still induced immunity to it. The child’s body learned to “fight off” the more dangerous natural acquired smallpox by his/her exposure to the less severe material.

In order to effectively “inoculate against pornography addiction” and other immoral behavior, children must receive regular “boosters” of specific material at a certain developmental stage in their lives.

Inoculation against pornography addiction and other immoral behavior: Is the act of introducing a specific booster of “skills and knowledge” into a kid to produce immunity to pornography addiction and other immoral behavior.

After all:

“Train up a child in
the way he should go
and when 
he is old, he will
not depart from it.”

A Booster: Is the material “skills and knowledge” used in the inoculation process. Multiple boosters are necessary to successfully inoculate against pornography addiction.

And finally let’s not forget parents are responsible for teaching children. I

Intentional Parenting: Is when parents thoughtfully and deliberately teach their children about healthy sexuality. Intentional parenting is one fundamental skill to prevent children from using pornography.
