My 11yo DD is reading smut!

So now it's an issue!

This the age when kids start getting curious about sex. They will seek out information one way or another, reading a book describing sex (and probably written for women in a way that prioritizes female sexual pleasure) is much better than the many alternatives out there.

I didn't have sex until my early 20s and have been reading erotica since I was 10. My mother hated it, I didn't care. Neither does your daughter. Every method my mom tried couldn't keep me away from it. The problem will be the same with your daughter.
Leave her alone until she has sex. Then it's an issue. Until then, be happy she's reading instead of scrolling Tiktok or smoking (yes, 11-year-olds do that!).

Weird that this poster above ^^ revived a post from FIVE hears ago to comment on it.
Wtf???

The kid is 16 by now. So her reading selections at 11 probably prepared her well for reading the sexually explicit content of The Poet X in 9th grade English class.

Look the other way, I did it at that age too.

It doesn't matter. Someone probably googled my kid is reading smut and this popped up. No reason people can't comment on the topic now, especially with many young people reading Colleen Hoover and the like. It does not matter that much how the OP's kid turned out although I bet if they are still around and give us an update that would be a good contribution to the discussion at this point.
