Rethinking Pornography as an Educational Tool
Based on the presented materials, the conclusion that watching porn and erotic content in a family context can serve as an educational practice is met with significant doubts and criticism. Several quotes emphasize that such materials are incapable of teaching children the true values of relationships, love, and mutual respect; instead, they may lead to a dilution of moral guidelines and even a distorted perception of sexuality.
For example, one of the sources states:"Children should not be taught this, because later they come to you and ask, 'What is sex for?' They are explained it in classes, but it is far better to teach them about goodness and sanctity. We often find ourselves at a loss with these questions because we do not know how to explain it all to children."

Additionally, another quote points to the duty of parents to shield their children as much as possible from the influence of debauchery and seduction:"If a person’s flesh is awakened and directed in the wrong way—away from where it should be guided in order to make a human out of him—it then becomes extremely difficult to make any radical changes, and a true human being will not emerge. It is the sacred duty of each of us to shield our children as much as possible from any influence of debauchery or seduction."

Instead, they may contribute to a superficial and distorted perception of sexuality, which in the long term will adversely affect the foundations of upbringing and family values. Therefore, according to the presented arguments, greater attention should be paid to moral education, the culture of love, and mutual respect rather than the use of pornographic or erotic materials as an educational tool.
