Real conversations about true respect for women and consent, need to happen. And he needs to be made to understand porn exploits women. And that’s never ok.

Are you serious Clark? Guessing you never had boys or grew up around boys or ever had a bf talk to you honestly.

My girls would never have done this. They know better and have been properly educated about toxic content, such as any sort of porn or filth.

More power to you. I had an image of that nun from the Blues Brothers though when I read that.

Any kid with half a brain can get around any parental controls. Why don't parents understand this?

Most "parents" here seem to be in denial about so much in the world.

They really act insulated from reality in most every topic that is discussed on here.

It's quite fascinating to read it all on this site. Sheltered people are an interesting study from a sociological and psychological standpoint.

This is a actually real problem. So many parents are oblivious because it is so awkward to discuss. Believe it or not, porn effects girls even more negatively. 10% of U.S. girls are now on OnlyFans, and 1.4 million American women are on the platform selling intimate content to survive!

In Florida, you are blocked from explicit content without entering your drivers license for this very reason.

Disturbing.

I agree with you about the need for convos about respect and consent, but it IS normal for a 13 year old to be curious enough to seek it out. Hell, I'm a 53 year old middle aged woman and I remember turning on the Playboy channel at the houses where I babysit after the kids were asleep, and watching it even when it was *scrambled* because you could still see a bit and hear it all. Curiosity is normal.

Normalizing watching porn regularly is not.

There was just an article about how strangulation injuries are becoming more common in women under 35 because of how frequently choking shows up in mainstream porn. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/article/2024/sep/02/i-think-its-natural-why-has-sexual-choking-become-so-prevalent-among-young-people

+1 Today’s readily accessible porn is not like pornos from when today’s parents of adolescents were kids. It’s darker, more degrading, more violent, even more addictive. Kids who become addicted before they’ve ever even had any sexual experiences of their own find traditional first sexual experiences boring by comparison and need to engage in more extreme behavior to achieve gratification. It’s very unhealthy.

Kids will enter their parent's license number. Wife find out and be like, "WTH are you doing online husband?"

Lol. That is actually funny. I can only imagine those conversations.

This.

Exactly.
