It's true that there may be some kids who hadn't thought of it, but I don't think that's a good reason not to ask.
I think 14 is a great age to be talking to kids about these issues. At the very least, they need to understand that nudity can be a big deal where minors are involved. There are charities that give talks about it in schools here. "Don't share nudes of your friends because it's a serious crime".
Kids absolutely need to know about this as soon as they're old enough to have a few minutes alone with any electronic device.
Puberty begins as early as 10 in girls and 11 in boys, so 14 may be a little late, at least for some kids.
Yeah, I just meant 14 is not too young rather than 14 is the correct age.
I'm sure it will be very difficult but my intention with my kids is just to be as open and honest about these sorts of issues as reasonably possible, at any age. I don't really see why sex and nudity and privacy and respect have to be awkward subjects.
There was recently a "book burning" type rally in my city where some residents were concerned that there was a book at the library that had sex-related topics available to children. I just don't get it.
A bunch of the U.S. conservatism around sex is related to Abrahamic religion where sex is presented as sinful. Religious indoctrination begins at a very young age for some kids.
