Thank you Rabbi, you dealt with a awkward topic with style.

[@Yshaikush]

Thats is so insightful Rabbi. Please, talk more about the dangers of porn, People must hear.

[@thesoulmateconnection]

I had a very young person ask me bluntly if I would have sex with him. I am friends with his mom. I explained to him that that part of himself is special. They just do not know. So, I explained to him that I would not take that part of him so easily. I also explained to him that he should not give it away so easily. Intimacy is sacred. It needs to be honored. I wanted him to see his special. He appreciated that and respect was restored.

Shalom with all respect Rabi I think nowadays kids are exposed to porn and sexual immorality and a whole lot of disgusting things…the list is loooong….. I’m a mother of 4 3 boys and one girl, and my youngest boy is 12 currently in middle school.honestly I’ve never had that kind of problem with my two grown up boys( B’H) but the time we’re living in right now is horrible, there’s no values or morals ( and we as parents have to pray stronger and be a role model and try always the best for our younger ones ( who are more vulnerable). They don’t even need the internet to watch it , it’s in the music, the clothes, schools, places, homosexuality….it’s everywhere 😔so I always tell my son to trust in me and never lie, and if he needs to know about something always look for the right person to ask… thank you

[@libertykim6438]

A lot of people are taking their children out of public schools. The world is becoming a dangerous place.

[@manisfriedman]

Thank you for sharing this Myriam. And you're quite right, it's become so easy to access today that the parents' challenge has increased tenfold. And you're right, fostering an open and honest relationship with your children is a huge plus.

Rabbi youre very wise, thankyou for the enlightenment

[@seanvandiijk2889]

Nobody in history was brave enough to face this topic... unil now. May HaShem bless you in this way of dealing with topics almost nobody is willing to talk about. It's incredible how humanity messed it up from the times of Noah, with the foundations, now it's the same story, most people wants to fulfill all the commandments leaving the main one as not prioritary. I think whatever comes next could worth nothing if Foundation is left in background mode.

[@luisandrade5573]

wow! Thank you Rabbi!

[@m0nkeyboot]

A lot of wisdom in his responses to children.

[@MonikaJakubiak-hn6ee]

Thank you so very much Rabbi; its so profoundly truthful Raising Children and its so true ,all the complicated psychology books on raising children you put in Godly and yet so pure and simple thank you again . May God Bless you

[@loitermanart]

Most rebeim would freak out and accuse the parent of being at fault for "having internet". Instead of reacting calmly and calling it silly, people are acting like it's worse than Avoda Zorah.

[@Carlitos1993]

Very wise Rabbi.

Honestly, I am a chabad minor, and I have been exposed to porn and homosexal behaver right after bas mitzvah.. I want to grow up to be a wife and a good person that won't let that effect my morals and marriage, I am scared it will.. is there any reverse? Any advice helps Have a good day

[@jonathanlewis2805]

You can still be all those wonderful things. Speak to a teacher, Shlucha or relative that you trust, to help you through this rough spot. Your honest and sincere and will do fine.

[@clintn.kildepstein1656]

I’m scared as well. Definitely talk to someone you trust, it feels good to get it off your chest and to vent. But really the most important thing is to believe that you can change. Believe in yourself, it’s not impossible. Even I’m shocked by how for some extended periods of time I’m able to withstand porn, and I do feel better during those times. Yes, you fall, but you can always get back up. Life is a constant struggle. If you want to talk it out I’m here for you

How should a mother have handled it? She came home from shopping to find her son(10) and half the other ten year olds in the neighbourhood sitting in a circle on the lawn each holding a battered old copy of Playboy magazine. Her husband received them thirdhand from a friend, and, like every other adult male, found the articles interesting and ignored the centrefold. What she did was, told her son to gather them back up and return them to the stack under the bed where he found them. About a week after this, similar situation but there's another mother waiting by the door with her ten year old son who may have been standing there for a while because the raw egg that was on top of his head and dripping down his neck had congealed. His mother wanted to have it out with the culprits mother, who, through gales of hearty laughter asked her son why he did that. "He was rude to me." Good enough answer, served the little blighter right.

I found a memo which I took during my reading Talmud : A selection. No desire. Receive G-d. Having justice. Having a loving heart. Being ideal for others. Modest. Compassionate. Warm and kind. Gentle. Quiet. ( use talent & time for others silently.) ( The more good, the less shortcomings.). -from Japan.

Nothing "light hearted" about porn; And you Don't need hundreds of commtaries from hundreds of authors and "jovial" debates either.
