Should I assume my son is looking at porn?

[Anonymous]

Porn was accessible, though not readily available, even before the mass proliferation Internet usage during the 90's. No need to obsess over it unless you see your son's behavior being affected by it.

Yes, no matter the spam folder, he is looking at porn. I had a talk with my DS to make sure he understands that the garbage online is nothing at all like life. He says he knows that, but who knows. My DS was a late bloomer and started looking at it a bit later, but if your DS is not extremely immature for his age, he is definitely looking at porn.

So what if he does?

He's gotta jerk off to something.

I even clean out my elderly mom's email account for her sometimes and she gets them. Maybe she's checking out porn, but I doubt it?

But I would assume that your kid will come across some porn somewhere and be interested in it. So worth a discussion just for that reason.

Same here, never looked at any websites.

That's odd because my spam folder has no porn and I do watch porn online. So there's the answer, if there is no porn on the spam folder, it means porn is being viewed.

Yes, but not because of the spam folder. It's just too easy nowadays. If he has a computer and some privacy (which I think every kid should have) then he has or soon will.

I get porn spam in my junk folder often (and Viagra!) I am a female who has never given my email address to any porn affiliate.

That said, yes, you should always assume your teenaged son is looking at porn.
