Sorry I can’t be of any help but:

😆

I’d be more worried about his spelling of naked…

What’s the inappropriate bit? It’s what the internet was invented for. Safer than finding it in hedges.

take him to a burlesque show…

Personally I’d go the carefully-worded telling off, followed by a denial of internet access for say, a week. That will give a) him time to think about what’s happened and the possible consequences, and b) you time to start putting parental/access controls into place on your browsers.

Boys will be boys, we’ve all been there (well, if you’re a bloke anyway…and possibly if you’re a laydee too…). Have a giggle about it to yourself and let it slide.

If it becomes a habit and he’s being furtive about it or deliberately trying to get access (perhaps on a friend’s PC) then you need to look at more concerted action.

To be honest I’d be asking more questions of yourselves as parents an why you hadn’t thought of putting some security on your Internet before now* (said in non sanctimonious way)

* my daughter is also 8 and I have nothing set up. Probably should change that as she’s bound to get curious about the birds and the bees soon, and kids being kids, she’ll use google before asking questions.

PMSFL!!! 😆

at the end of the day you can’t stop them seeing stuff , as junkyard said even an innocent search can bring unexpected results , as I found when I googled ” outdoor action ” whilst looking for a camping store in Bolton.
I remember being quite shocked at some of the stuff my son looked at when he was 13/ 14 especially the ” feed em up fatty sites , which seem to advocate a very unhealthy diet in young ladies. Best thing you can do is keep em grounded and try to react in a level headed way.

This is the thread that keeps on giving. 😆

Go all misty eyed, and start reminiscing. Tell him he doesn’t know how lucky he is, back when you were a lad, there was no such thing as Google, and you had to find such things in magazines randomly found in hedges

Maybe send him out on a sort of Treasure Hunt. See if he can come back with a soggy copy of Razzle

He’s done no harm and he’ll see far worse via friends at school etc over the next few years.

*Nasty*

Poor aim? Not enough pressure in the tanks?

I’ve just tried that and the results are very disappointing [off to check if I have safe search on…]

Well in situations like this I ALWAYS BLAME THE PARENTS!
Leave the boy alone and have a word with yourselves. Better parenting skills are the answer.

A septegenarian member of the Orkney Traditional Dance Group Googled ‘balled yarn’ as she’d run out on a jumper she was knitting. Her eyes were well and truly opened 😯

EDIT Just googled it to check myself, it wasn’t so bad. Perhaps it may have been a spell checked derivative thereof.

I think you need to embrace his curiosity and celebrate with some pagan mime, if that fails thrash the little pervert

Yes i just re did it as well and I wonder if google have done something with the search term- was perhaps 6-12 months ago he did it

I think he said video as well – he watched the videos on the hubble site but that is equally “disappointing”

Agree with Rachel. Can you avoid attaching guilt and shame to sex? Parental controls on the Internet and a manly chat would be my approach. Save he nipple tassel dance story for a wedding speech.
