Our video begins with John Van Arnam’s news pieces over the years discussing the harms of underage people watching explicit content online. The most recent news comes in the form of “Sextortion Scams” perpetrated by predators who coerce young people into sharing nudes and then threatening to share these images in exchange for money or favors.
The Third Talk’s John Van Arnam was interviewed by Fox News regarding “Sextortion Scams” where young people are asked to send nude photos of themselves to predators and are then extorted for favors or money.
“We all love the internet (… it’s worth a Google)—but not everything on the web is good for children’s eyes,” writes Lauren Kruchten. “As shocking as it may seem, U.S. kids are, on average, first exposed to porn at the age of 11—thus making up the second-largest demographic of pornography viewership in the world (!)… Enter The Third Talk.”
The Third Talk is featured on WRAL in an article entitled “Have ‘The Third Talk’ to protect your kids from porn, predators on the internet.”
The Third Talk Founder, John Van Arnam, talks to WRAL’s lifestyle editor Kathy Hanrahan about the need for this important conversation to protect young people from exposure and from online predators.
“North Carolina law enforcement and education leaders hope a new campaign will keep students from being exposed to online pornography and adult sex predators,” begins T. Keung Hui’s article.

John Van Arnam, founder of The Third Talk, likens sex to driving. No one would expect a young person learn to drive by watching “Fast and Furious” movies. Van Arnam also knows they shouldn’t learn about sex by watching pornography. But access is everywhere – children have it on their phones – so he wants parents to talk with their children about it.
“Our purpose is to initiate the conversation between parents and their young people regarding avoiding the exposure of explicit adult material to young folks,” he said.
The conversation transcends religious beliefs, political opinions and more, Van Arnam said.
