[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am so upset. My 11yo DD has been glued to her Kindle recently. Turns out she’s been reading romance novels with very very explicit sex scenes. I grew in a very conservative Asian household so I don’t know how to handle this. Is this ok? I can’t forbid at this point because the cat is already out of the bag. Help!![/quote] Smut! omg!!!! Seriously, talk with her about it in a non confrontational, non-judgmental way. Yes, you can forbid "smut" on the grounds that she doesn't have the life experience to appreciate smut and put it into context. Like others, I am much less concerned about reading explicit sex scenes than actually seeing them. At a certain age (older than eleven obviously) I think women reading some romance (i.e. soft porn) is healthy- it's not intense enough to be addictive or create unrealistic expectations, but it does tend to raise one's standards of what constitutes "good sex."
