Why It’s Essential

The statistics are sobering: Pornography is a $97 billion global industry, and children are increasingly its unintended victims. With the average child encountering explicit material by age 11, it’s clear that early exposure is no longer the exception—it’s the norm. The book points out that 40% of children aged 10 to 17 have been exposed to online pornography, often unintentionally. This exposure can have lasting negative effects on a child’s brain development, emotional health, and understanding of sexuality.

What makes Good Pictures Bad Pictures so critical is its understanding of this reality. Rather than pretending children will remain innocent by ignorance, the book offers a solution that acknowledges the existence of the problem without compromising a child’s sense of security or innocence. Jenson reminds parents that their child isn’t necessarily seeking out pornography—rather, pornography is seeking their child. The digital age has brought with it a flood of predatory content, and without preparation, children may become easy targets. This book is a much-needed tool in fighting back.

A Thoughtful Approach

One of the most remarkable aspects of Good Pictures Bad Pictures is how it tackles such a heavy subject with remarkable care. Jenson uses the metaphor of “bad pictures” to explain pornography in a way that children can understand without becoming overwhelmed. The book doesn’t shy away from the seriousness of the issue, but it presents the material in a way that respects a child’s developmental stage.

Jenson goes a step further by incorporating basic neuroscience into the discussion, making this more than just a moral lesson. Children are taught about the difference between the “feeling brain” (the limbic system) and the “thinking brain” (the prefrontal cortex). This explanation not only helps children grasp why they might find inappropriate images both confusing and appealing, but also teaches them about how addiction works. By framing the conversation around brain science, Jenson demystifies pornography’s pull, helping children understand that it is a trap rather than something to be ashamed of.
