Is it best with pre teens to:
a) Hide it as much as we can and tell them it is evil?
b) Be Honest with it and when you think that person is ready, then teach the children how to respect the body? This means showing them naked bodies in photo or in real time in what would have to be a non sexual way which ever way it happens.
c) let them figure it out on their own.
d) other?

Thank you, happy holidays
 
I was honest with my children. I didn't show them nudity, but my son had some rather benign nudie magazines under his mattress when he was about 12. I let him keep them. I saw nothing overtly wrong with them (no vile fetish pics, etc).

I hope I was as honest a parent as I could have been when my kids were growing up because I believe parents are where children learn their ethics from first and foremost.
 
The reason so many perversions arise is because we choose to hide/distort the truth.

d) Pull our heads out of Victorian traditions, and start using our common sense!
 
There is no absolute on this one.
a) that is probably the worst thing to do. This will just cause more interest and then psychological problems latter on.
b) honesty is usually the best thing but there's a big difference between a 3 year old and a 12 year old. Showing them naked bodies is not good idea, they already see enough. There are some children's books that show body parts but not private parts.
c) This will happen but you have no idea what or how they will find out, better to do it on your terms.
d) When they're younger I'd say let them come to you or when you notice interest and in levels depending on age. When they get older they need the "talk"
Remember it's the birds that f@<ked the bees.
 
Hide them

If a kid did happen to see that, I would have a chat with them as why they are looking at it.

People are taught to have pride in themselves.
And if people need curse words to make them feel better or to take off thoer clothes in front of others to make them feel better or stronger "That is suggesting that they have no pride in themselves."
 
I don't see enough information to tell me what is your purpose in showing the photos. I wouldn't show porn to a child at all. I certainly wouldn't tell kids that naked people are evil either. Nudity really isn't anything to be ashamed of.

If you are talking about sex education, you can show a kid a diagram of the reproductive system so they know how all the parts work. I don't see anything wrong with showing them a couple photos of naked people (who are not having sex) so they can see what the opposite sex has.

This all depends on the child. Kids mature at different rates. When a child hits puberty it is definitely time for that child to know what is going on with him or her. Showing photos of a developed adult is a good way to educate.
