The models are hired for performance, so it is possible that it is contractual rather than consensual.
There is nothing private about it. Data protection is a healthy part of a sexual relationship.
What you see is not realistic on many levels. For example, a 10-minute sex scene can last for hours. Actors often use erectile enhancers to help maintain arousal. If a scene doesn’t come out the way you want it, just re-shoot it. If you edit afterwards, a specific representation is created.
What if my child sent an act?
It is relatively common for children under the age of 18 to request, take, send, and receive nudes, but this can have real ramifications. The federal government believes that child trafficking is involved even if you take and post pictures of yourself. Find out about federal laws regarding pornography and your state’s sexting laws for teenagers.
When your child tells you about an act, do your best to remain calm and resist the temptation to interrogate, be ashamed, or blame the victim. You can say, “I’m glad you came to tell me.” Focus on the person who broke trust in your child and who shares or publishes the pictures.
If the nude photos of people are posted online without their consent, the violation may appear as if it happened in person. It can be devastating. Ask what your child would like to share. Remember, abuse is a disempowering experience. We want survivors to feel they have autonomy in directing their process. Use open-ended questions and their convenience to guide the conversation. Empower them to make their own decisions by offering options and resources like therapeutic advice or reporting to law enforcement.
How can I help?
As a parent, you have taught your children values in all aspects of their lives. Talk about how mutual respect looks, sounds, and feels in a sexual context. It is important to emphasize that sexual relationships can include both emotional and physical intimacy. The connection usually involves romantic interest and sexual attraction.
Without guidance from the adults in their lives on what pleasurable sexual experiences should look, sound and feel like, children work from what they see on screens. Make sure you provide age-appropriate, medically correct information about sexuality and instructions on how to apply that information to their intimate relationships. Encourage your children to define the gender for themselves, to avoid stereotypes affecting their actions, and to be sober and courageous in social and sexual situations.
