[Access to digital pornography by children and teenagers: when should you be alerted?]

Pornography and, more broadly, the consumption of sexually explicit images are not new phenomena. However, the rise of new technologies has significantly facilitated access to this type of content, especially among young people. In what family context does the use of digital tools occur? What are the stakes of exposure in children and adolescents? What impacts on psychosexual development? What are the reasons for the difficulty in restricting this behaviour? Is there an addictive dimension? Health professionals and trusted adults have a role to play, both in preventing exposure to unsolicited and potentially shocking content, and in opening up a dialogue in the case of problematic situations for the child or adolescent.
