[Closed] Why don't teenage sons realise that...

youpron or pronhub?

paranoid muchely ?

youpron or pronhub?

And the rest.

Is there an emoticon for "good grief" ?

I guess I need to switch the internet filtering setting from "casual" to "Fascist".

and you never looked for hedge porn?

Any of the sites any good?

Whale hedge pron 😯

ziggy - thanks - I needed that 🙂

haha, my brother and I were looking at porn on a laptop at our parents house.
A couple of months later when we were both round there my Mum asked us about the interesting history on her laptop... we tried to play dumb but decided we wanted our Dad to see another day.

Its what teenagers do, surely quite harmless?

My mate knows full well that his kid watches porn on the lappy. In fact, he's even texted him some video filth.

It's just what kids do.

Why don't teenage sons realise that.I have a life of my own and do not want to run him to Stirling when I could be out mountainbiking (gimp)

Sounds like in your day your parents were saying "Don't our teenage sons realise what magazines we know they keep under their mattress?!"

Bit of a difference between what you can find on a 14 yr old's iPod these days and a tattered old copy of penthouse or something.

boys will be boys i would subtley take the pi55 and make him a bit paranoid...it is what any supportive parent should do in these circumstances

They've got it too easy. Oh for those heady days when the the hedge fairies would deliver a bountiful wedge of Fiesta, wih the odd Mayfair chucked in for the more ambitious. We know not from where they came, but we give thanks

amen to that brother

If you have a teenage son that isn't constantly ****ing, tbh you should probably take it back to the shop, there's something wrong with it.

I used to share a house and one computer with a girlfriend and her teenage son.
My advice to any teenage boys would be, don't hide stuff in a folder titled "Top secret. Keep out", that's the first place your parents are going to look. 😀

You could always tag the sites in his favourites as a subtle hint that you know what he's been looking at. Either that or buy him a book "internet for beginners" and fold down the page that handles deleting browser history 😉

In the days before internet I found a porn video belonging to my folks when I was 10 - got busted watching it. My mum was totally cool about it and said if I wanted to watch it I could watch it with her and my stepfather.

Quite a bizarre experience

I'd have thought most teenage boys know more about the internet (and associated technology) than their parents so most parents won't come across this scenario?

and said if I wanted to watch it I could watch it with her and my stepfather.

😯

Wrong, wrong, wrong!

Why?

But you don't have to look at the logs... What compelled you to do it? 😉

Whats the problem ? Its what teenage lads do.

If I had the internet in my formative teenage years it would have easily replaced my vast and weighty collection of top shelf filth.

Thanks for the advice. Back from a nice fast morning bike ride I think I can now deal with this from a safe perspective.

Not in this instance. His dad is just too trusting. But he was caught out via the squid proxy logs!

That's almost the bit I find more scary - he *knows* that all the traffic goes through a squid proxy, because he has to configure the proxy settings in his browser. And they all know the proxy is there so that I can monitor what's going on!

Do I need to draw a picture, or what! Aeerrghghgh!

If you have a teenage son that isn't constantly ****ing, tbh you should probably take it back to the shop, there's something wrong with it.

That is certainly true.

Bit of a difference between what you can find on a 14 yr old's iPod these days and a tattered old copy of penthouse or something.

That is also true. I haven't been through the logs in detail (and I'm not going to) but we now have some pretty bizarre laws in this country. If he's accidentally downloaded a picture of some hairy bloke fornicating with an octopus then that is now *illegal* and I get to go to jail and be put on the sex offenders register! Crazy but true. (It's the octopus that's the problem, not the hair).

So:

- talking to; taking the pi55 sounds like a good idea
- set proxy to paranoid
- wipe PC and install netbsd - he can surf the internet again once he's figured out how to compile firefox from source.

...
...

And relax.

On the plus side have you seen the price of jazz mags these days, he's probably saving a fortune.

Just remind him how easy it is for the ISP to track any extreme pron and that beeg should more than enough for any lad to whack himself unconscious.

You've a squid proxy and you know his fav sites? You could have so much fun with that... little bit of scripting and you can randomly change pics/flash vids to instead be a video/pic of you tut-tutting at him for being a filthy boy. That'll put him off his stroke.

Buy the missus a little picker to handle his used socks 😯

I take you're in IT looking at another workers laptop?
In a place i used to work in, we used to do comp repairs. The first thing the techs used to to was run a search for *.jpg and *.mpg. Bunch of perverts!

Why not say he can look on certain 'safe' sites?

"Porn Mode" now found in all popular browsers is the best thing to ever happen to browser history and cookies!

The son uses PC in lounge, no where else, his mother demonstrated to him how to look at Browser History, tells, him "Your father an I have no reason to clear this, if it's blank, we'll assume it's you..."

that whale hedge is about 200 yards from my house!

Why not just leave the boy to have a tug in peace. There are to types of people on the planet, ****ers and liars. I feel that you may fall into the latter category.

Lad also wants to learn how to use private browsing....

- wipe PC and install netbsd - he can surf the internet again once he's figured out how to compile firefox from source.

Yeah, that e'll learn him to have a geek Dad, just stick Lynx on and be done with.

and say,

Son, I've forgotten more about computers than you know and I know every site that you've looked at and browsers in porn mode still have to go through the proxy.

Windows 7 and 'InPrivate' browsing sorts out the history, have you not seen the adverts?

Thank the lord for my trusting parents.

Doesn't sort out the proxy though, does it?

And WTF are you doing with a Squid proxy at home????

Having a Squid proxy at home is paranoid to the extreme - will work in most cases, though...

Not that I'm ever likely to reproduce, but if I had kids then they'd absolutely be connecting to the internet through a proxy server. Why on earth they're not aggressively marketed as "safety online" products I really don't know; way better than any of this 'net nanny' tosh.

Mind you, I'm a geek, I'd be disappointed in any child of mine that failed to circumvent my enforced security. "Never mind that you were downloading pictures of Megan Fox, what on Earth are you doing getting caught, you blithering fool?"

No word of a lie there is a video on xnxx.com were a woman is using a squid as a proxy server, at least that's what it looks like from the thumb nail.

I took safari off my son's iPod touch and told him I would put it back when he told his mum why I'd removed it.

So far he hasn't told her...

Son, I've just realised you've bought your own Wireless access point, configured it to be a hidden and and connected it direcly to the router bypassing my proxy and hidden it behind the bookshelf. Well done my lad I'm proud.

"private" mode in most modern browsers means the history remains normal and no trace is left obvious. But you can check the windows media player recent play history for non-embedded history even when it gets deleted from the temp folder it is stored in 🙂 unless they're smart and have located the registry entry that stores the recent file list.

Scares me that some parents are so overbearing.

EDIT:

better off teaching him what's acceptable and what's not. He's going to see it elsewhere if not, who on here wasn't introduced to art pamphlets by a mate who'd found his dad's stash?

of course, i can claim to be an authority on this as i don't and probably never will have kids 🙂

All this talk of octopuses and squids is making me hungry.

Incidentally, isn't it fairly easy to put back on, and being of the newer generations it'll take him or his mates 15 seconds to put back?

I find it's not true that this generation know about computers - they know about Halo and Facebook and that's it. Wheras when I was his age I was adding RAM chips to my Spectrum, programming, etc, kids seem to have no clue that you can program computers these days.

another thing they seem to know is how to watch hard core porn on their mobiles when they are 14. I'm not convinced it's a good thing.

Tiger6791 > indeed. (-:

Coffeeking > the intelligent bit there isn't putting Safari back on, it's making sure his dad proudly continues to believe that he hasn't.

it's wildy encouraged my the mobile phone operators, they make vast amounts of income from providing adult material through their services

Porterclough > whereas in our day it was Sam Fox Strip Poxer?

I find it's not true that this generation know about computers - they know about Halo and Facebook and that's it.

Nah, you just have non-computery kids, gamer types. Any kid with half an ounce of noddle these days could google the way to do it in ten seconds flat, never requiring to tell their mother anything and leaving their father assuming they were now porn free as cougar says!

We "found" it before the internet or mobile phones existed, at the age of about 12-13. Surely better to just point out what's acceptable and what's not rather than make it a tabboo that they'll do behind your back? Removing browsers just strikes me as a poor way of doing it, easily reversed and bypasses the bit where you explain why some things are not acceptable, whats natural and what's not etc. What do I know, I'm not a parent, but that's how I'd deal with my kids.

Well they said it was Sam Fox, but it could have been any 32 by 64 collection of black and white pixels!

[quoteAll this talk of octopuses and squids is making me [s]hungry[/s]horny

Fixxored that for you 😀

....when they are 14

Are some of you guys too old to remember what you were [i]physically[/i] doing yourselves at 14?!

I used to do it whilst eating carrots, so as to balance out any potential change to my eyesight.

(* - note to the humour impaired, this may not be true)

LOL

And a shaver at the ready in case of hairy palms.

In fact, you could coat your old man in Immac - for both it's lubricating properties and its effective hair removal.

Did you also alternate hands to ensure symmetrical muscular development?

M_F = deviant.

You got any idea how much immac stinks the place out?

I have never seen a rotting octopus carcass. Is it squidgy?

M_F in facepalm moment. Miss the terrible joke did you?

For some reason this really made me laugh. It's a brilliant solution that could send the lad totaly insane!

Clearly so 🙁 this annoys me, especially as I still don't get it.

If so, it's Squiggy, not squidgy - how would you possibly expect me to 'get it'?
😉

SQUIDgy.

SQUIDgy.

You just dont get it do you.

On the upside, it's very funny.

You just dont get it do you.

And the man finally gets there. Congratulations
