Pornography in the modern age

To what extent would you monitor or restrict your teenage child’s access to pornography.
I can guarantee that if you’re worried about it, next time you catch him watching some, look enthusiastic and say “is this the one where they errr… you know…?” Then ask if he doesn’t mind if you watch too…
Your teenage son’s pornography consumption, or lack thereof, will be a problem no longer!
😆
GrahamSFull MemberWhile I didn’t overtly monitor his activity on line (he had a laptop in his room) we had one simple rule.
At any point either me or his mother could walk in and ask for laptop to be handed over for inspection of cache, browsing history etc (lack of either of these two things was instant rescinding of privileges) no if, but, or hang on a minute…
Well I suppose that at least teaches him the basic of using Incognito Mode and/or installing a second browser purely for grot. 😆
About the porn thing… meh, it’s an age old phenomenon.
Yeah but it’s a bit different from the days of a crumpled Razzle and the lingerie pages from the Littlewoods catalogue.
Today’s kids grow up with instant access to an endless stream of images and video, much of which is incredibly graphic and depicts violent, abusive or illegal acts.dazhFull MemberI was put off porn for life as a 15 year old when one of my mates put on one of his dad’s videos and then proceeded to crack one out right in front of me whilst encouraging me to do the same. Perhaps a similar approach with your son might have the same effect?
HounsFull MemberFilm you and his Mum at it……. Restrict access to porn sites and leave your home vid saved on his laptop
And back to the topiary….. You know, someone could de-fur themselves because they actually like it and prefer the increased sensation, not because porn films say they must *Roll eyes smiley.
Try it, you may like it
TeetosugarsFree Memberby the way, those of you who are scared of a bit of hair:
1. Women who shave or wax it all off are more likely to have sexually transmitted infections.
.Is this an *Actual fact, or an STW Fact..
Seems like complete bulkshit to me.. 🙄vickypeaFree MemberIs this an *Actual fact, or an STW Fact..
Seems like complete bulkshit to me..It’s based on a study reported recently and can be found on the NHS website and was on the BBC website. I don’t know how to post links but it’s easily found if you want to look. It may be related to micro abrasions in the skin caused by hair removal being more likely to harbour infections.
Female pro cyclists are also saying no to shaving as it increases damage from the saddle.
Whatever, there was a load of nonsense a while back about it being more hygienic to shave. That is bullshit.MrSmithFree MemberI was put off porn for life as a 15 year old when one of my mates put on one of his dad’s videos and then proceeded to crack one out right in front of me whilst encouraging me to do the same.

I guy I used to work for went into his bedroom to be confronted by his old man cranking away at his old chap while looking at his rhythm pamphlet collection. 😯
crankboyFree MemberI don’t have an answer but I do have a point . I represent a 15 year old boy who has been detected accessing a shed load of unpleasant porn and allegedly sharing with mates online.
The police are seriously trying to destroy his life in ways that will never be undone.
My son is too young to yet worry me but I will be doing my utmost to educate him and restrictively protect him as he grows.
So as Hill Street Blues says be careful out there.wallopFull MemberI totally agree with what somewhatslightlydazed said on the previous page.
Yep, me too. Nowt wrong with keeping it tidy & subtle IMO but I’m not really up for making my biff look like an 8 year old’s!

Reminds me of time I was kneeling before a semi circle of love on the bedroom floor when suddenly the window cleaner appeared outside!
He gave a nod, wink and a thumbs up then carried on with his squeegee….!
squirrelkingFree MemberWomen who shave or wax it all off are more likely to have sexually transmitted infections.
What about the men?
Whatever, there was a load of nonsense a while back about it being more hygienic to shave. That is bullshit.
Dunno about hygienic but definitely less sweaty.
senorjFull MemberI also agree with somewhatslightlydazed & councilof10’s comments.
However,has anyone else wondered if Houns is the “stuart” ,pocketrocket embarrassed? 😉#poorstuart.
councilof10Free MemberIt’s based on a study reported recently and can be found on the NHS website and was on the BBC website. I don’t know how to post links but it’s easily found if you want to look.

This was the story that was widely reported and then retracted by the BBC. The actual truth is that people with sexual infections are statistically more likely to be shaved, simply because sexually active people are more likely to be shavers, and sexually active people are more likely to get STIs!
I don’t recall there being any strong evidence to suggest that the act of shavings responsible for STIs.
Anyway, as Houns says, do it for the feels… 8)
CaptainFlashheartFree Membercarried on with his squeegee.
Never heard it called that before.
Nowt wrong with keeping it tidy & subtle
Indeed. A nicely trimmed hedgerow is always appreciated. No one likes them when they’re overgrown and ragged.
derek_starshipFree MemberI do wonder how today’s teenagers manage to maintain an erection with just one partner when they have been cranking to videos where there are at least three women. One on each gobstopper and one for the money.
Surely after years of exposure to porn, expectations are raised to the point where being in bed with just one partner just doesn’t fill the erectile tissue sufficiently?CaptainFlashheartFree Membermyopic – Member

mogrimFull MemberCan’t last forever though, Microsoft and Apple both consider 14 to be ‘of age’ and they hand over total control to him on his 14th Birthday, he’ll be gagging for a bit of grot by then Id guess.
No they don’t. Microsoft still reports on what my eldest is up to, something I probably ought to switch off soon. As she’s 17 and nearly an adult…
OP: set up a child account on Microsoft (assuming Windows here) and you can monitor what he’s up to, you get a weekly report about it. In my case this led to an interesting heart-to-heart with my then 12 year old daughter about why she was searching for “porn” (and other search words) 🙂 What I don’t have is an internet filter or the like, the previously mentioned heart-to-heart wasn’t the first time the subject had come up, and probably won’t be the last. Education is key, rather than trying to prohibit something that never stopped us and will never stop them.
nwmlargeFree Memberworth noting that porn is easily accessed in many places other than through a web browser.
Tumblr
Snapchat
Twitter
the list goes on.Have a look through some and get a feel for what you need to address.
bikebouyFree MemberI’ve got two male nephews, 12 and 10. Both have been talking about “junk” and “beavers” for about 18mths now. Both schooled in a Catholic environment and family values too.
So I expect either full on rebellion in about 6-12mths or inward repression..
Either way, not healthy.
Rubber_BuccaneerFull MemberSurely after years of exposure to porn, expectations are raised to the point where being in bed with just one partner just doesn’t fill the erectile tissue sufficiently?
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush….hmmm, that doesn’t really come across the way I meant….and that didn’t help. Minefield this stuff 🙂
mahaloFull Memberso do all young couples these days conclude their fornication with him unloading all over her face!?
councilof10Free MemberMy ahem, youthful short comings could probably have been better described as ‘hair trigger’ rather than hydraulic failures… So I don’t think it’s a huge problem. 😉
so do all young couples these days conclude their fornication with him unloading all over her face!?
Never been a huge fan of the ‘hot monocle’, the obligatory post-quoital cuddle can be awkward enough without becoming adhered to your lover with man glue!
StoatsbrotherFree MemberPorn is a bit gonzo these days, and I must be an old git as I prefer the well written word as stimulation – eg google “remittance girl” – but haven’t got any energy to spare for anything other than the real thing. Younger partner etc.
As regards kids – if my Boys learn about Consent, Condoms and let others come first (simple politeness really…)
Listening to the Dan Savage Lovecast isn’t a bad education.
loved the sandwiches btw… 🙂
Malvern RiderFree MemberFound the link (maybe NSFW). School Of Life channel output in general is bloody brilliant IMHO, but re this subject they really went the extra mile!
