[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The curiosity is very natural. I think it is the duty of all of us to limit their exposure as much as possible to this stuff. There is only so much we can do, and I am sure that[b] by the time they are in their late teens all our efforts will be in vane[/b] - a friend with an iphone etc. But at least while they are still young we can do what we can - parental controls, monitoring software etc.[/quote]

I think frequent and casual conversations about sexuality, porn, and relationships in general set the tone for a healthy development of their attitudes and behavior.  Hopefully these conversations at the start of and throughout their teen years.  And, hopefully they've had their first girl/boy friend (whether or not they have sex with them) prior to age 18.  All this sets the stage for them to be able to asses for themselves - and practice self-discipline - as they are older, out in the world, and have easier access to porn.  For us, we are doing absolutely everything in our power to shield them from porn while they still live at home.  No smart phones or any other private internet-capable devices, computer only available in our kitchen, etc. etc.  Yes, I realize we can't control EVERYthing but we will do our best to try in this regard - just as we will do our best to keep them from drug use and reckless/drunk driving.  No, porn won't kill them, but it certainly can damage them in profound ways.[/quote]
