She said that it is next to impossible for children to not watch porn these days. She added that it is advised to not lash out at them or punish them if they get caught watching porn videos.
“My children also happen to be open-minded. It’s impossible for our children nowadays to not watch porn, whether it’s ‘anime’ or any other kind that are available nowadays,” she said in the interview.
She said that she allows her teenage sons to freely watch porn and even watches it with them to educate them about sex, reported CNN Indonesia.
She did admit that it may be a little too much.
“What do you guys think about watching together like this, is it cool?” to which they reply: “Mom, don’t be like this’,” she said.
Her parenting style has been questioned by social media users who do believe in her ideologies. However, it was praised by Agstried Piether, a well-known child and adolescent education expert from an institute in Indonesia.
“Yep, that’s correct. When we see the kids watching pornographic movies, no matter how uncomfortable the situation is, we should never be angry, because they will only do it again in secret,” Agstried said.
“Through the discussion, parents can provide factual sex education, based on science, not based on pornographic films,” she added.

However, Agstried said that not being angry with your children for watching porn and accompanying them while doing so are different things.
