How are children exposed to sexually explicit content?
Children may accidentally come across sexually explicit content on the television or Internet, etc. When this happens, the image may affect the child before they determine it is inappropriate. Prior to removing themselves from the situation (turning off the television or computer) the image has reached their brain and made an impact. The residue from the image may last longer for some children than for others. While some will experience signs of stress, others will never think about it again. There are children that may be curious to seek more information that is increasingly explicit.
