Actress Ali Wentworth has explained why she would watch pornography with her daughters at least once.

Wentworth shares two daughters - Elliott, 17, and Harper, 15 - with her husband, Good Morning America co-host, George Stephanopoulos.

Now, the Head Case actress has explained the important reason she plans on watching porn with her two daughters, and it is certainly food for thought for all parents out there.

Listen to her important reasoning below: 

"In porn, women have been conditioned to look and act a certain way," Wentworth, 55, said to Debra Messing and Mandana Dayani on the latest The Dissenters podcast episode, Us Weekly reports.

Wentworth added: "They are performing and it's dangerous to have boys see this as something women want.

"You can't stop them, so I would watch it with them," the actress and Go Ask Ali author explained. "I would look at the porn with them that one time, like, 'They're performing.'"

Fully aware of the detrimental effect that social media can have on young people, Wentworth said that she also tries to teach her daughters valuable life lessons whenever she sees them scrolling.

"I say, 'Do you see this girl? There is a hole she is trying to fill,'" the actress said.

However, this is far from the first time that Wentworth has opened up about sex.

Us Weekly reported that Wentworth claimed in her 2018 memoir Go Ask Ali that she and Stephanopoulos were having so much sex that her friends were jealous.

The actress also addressed these claims on Good Morning America alongside the political commentator and declared: "I'm not ashamed of it! There's nothing to be ashamed of!"

But while Wentworth might have had no shame about publically discussing her sex life with her husband, her daughters didn't feel the same way.

"I didn’t bring it up so much as defend it in a good way,” she said in an interview with Us Weekly at the time. "But they're like that at home. We say we're going to take a nap. They go, 'AARGH.' So that's the age. It’s age-appropriate."

So, is this a parenting approach you'd be willing to try?
