[quote=Anonymous]There’s a fine line between telling a kid that online porn is bad and teaching him that sexual curiosity is bad. It’s normal and natural human development to be interested in this stuff - even as young as eight. You are a safe person for him to ask questions. The internet is not a safe place to ask questions. He is not bad for being curious or interested in these things. Get him books about changing bodies so he knows what’s going on.

Kids will see porn online. It’s not a question of if but when. Their friends will have access and will show it to them. If you’re lucky it will be in middle school. Give them some idea what to expect before they encounter it. You can do this without getting explicit. Tell them grownups like to look at naked people online and some day their friends might show them. They don’t have to watch it and they can tell you if they feel confused by anything they see. Again, having their friends show them confusing or upsetting things won’t make them a bad person. It is not a good idea to seek out or watch these things because they are for grownups and the imagery gets stuck in your brain and is hard to forget. Sometimes it’s also violent.

Hopefully with some guidance they will come to you and/or avoid being shocked or addicted if it comes up. [/quote]
