A few years ago, my then 12 year old son, decided to look at porn at his mother's house. In those days, if you had dial up, some sites would bump you off line and then redial a number in bangledesh or someplace like that. My son would get up in the middle of the night and access his mothers computer. He ran up a $12,000 phone bill. I would say its important to have the talk and let them know what is going on.

My parents never had the talk with my brothers and me, and we turned out fine.
Then again, your mileage may vary. I don't think Travis Henry was ever told that sex results in pregnancy and look what happened there. |

I fully understand young boys are going to look at porn and there isn't a whole lot that I can do to stop it. He'll find a way because I know that I did and it's much easier to have access to it now.
Honestly, I want him to grow up understanding the correct way to treat women and the consequences of sex. He knows a little bit of the consequences because my wife & I had him at a very young at (me 21 / she 19). It took him a lot less time than I had hoped it would take him to figure out that he was born before we got married. But, it is what it is. I wouldn't change the way things have happened in my life, but I hope that I can get him to understand (as he gets older) that the consequences of having sex can alter your entire life - as they did for my wife & I. |
If he's already looking, I think there are things you can and should talk about.
Maybe not the birds and the bees so much as letting him know that Porn isn't reality. Let him know that because he might see Ed Powers punching a woman in the A-hole, or facials and all of that, that he isn't likely to find that reality. His prom date isn't likely going to want him to poop on her chest and then go ATM. As the father of daughters, I hope you'd also include a discussion about treating girls in his life with respect, in addition to making sure he doesn't have a baby until he's ready, or herpes by the 9th grade. |
