‘A Nightmare Scenario’: Ex-Porn Star Warns Parents of ‘Damage and Dangers’ Amid Oversexualization in Culture

Ex-porn star Brittni De La Mora is warning parents about pornography’s dire impact on young children, urging them to take an overt role in preparing and equipping kids for an increasingly sexualized culture.

Listen to the latest episode of CBN’s Quick Start podcast 👇

“If you don’t have these conversations with your children, then pornography is going to have these conversations with your children,” De La Mora said on her “Let’s Talk Purity” podcast.

The former adult film star, who famously became a Christian and now runs Love Always Ministries alongside her husband, Richard, shared two horrific stories surrounding friends who told her their 6- and 11-year-old children have already been exposed to pornography.

“It’s everywhere,” De La Mora said.

She sat down with Nick Liberto, executive director of TheSexTalk.com, a video course aimed at helping parents navigate sex and pornography discussions with their kids, to further explore the issue.

“We want parents to get on the offense and to lean in with their kids so that they’re protected,” Liberto said. “So that porn doesn’t teach them, because that is a nightmare situation.”

Listen to De La Mora and Liberto discuss the issue:

He said his goal is to help parents protect their children — something that, due to the pervasive nature of porn, is now required at earlier and earlier ages.

After assessing kids’ readiness to discuss the subject, Liberto recommended parents start by explaining God’s design and anatomic body parts for younger kids before moving on from there.

He also dove into the dire impact pervading themes of sex and porn are having on young people and American culture more broadly. The current approach of not discussing these things head-on and, in turn, of not preparing kids, he argued, isn’t panning out too well.

“Not addressing this issue is not working,” Liberto said. “All our world is talking about right now is sex and sexuality.”

The pornographic images and scenes the majority of children are purportedly exposed to by age 13 can have a dire impact on young minds.

“The things that children are being taught by pornography [are] just terrible,” Liberto said. “It’s all sort of twisting that which is good and that which is true.”

He continued, “It’s not if your children will be exposed; it’s when.”

Fortunately, De La More and Liberto said, the conversation about the dangers of porn is intensifying, with chatter extending beyond the church and into the general culture.

“Even the secular world is beginning to acknowledge the damage and the dangers of pornography, even if you don’t come at it from a faith lens,” Liberto said.
