Sexploitation: Helping Kids Develop Healthy Sexuality in a Porn-Driven World
ISBN: 9781629560892 / Angielski / Miękka / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. As surprising as it may be to parents, young people today are immersed in porn culture everywhere they look.

Even more important, no one is talking to kids directly about the problem. Parents tend to convince themselves that their children are immune to cultural influences, wait until it comes up, or hope schools and pediatricians will...
