If you think your kid doesn't watch it, you are being naive.

And you are correct. As a teacher I was stunned to learn that this is the norm, and not just regular porn, but violent, pedophillic, graphic, extreme hard core. And from kids you would never expect.

An entire network of regular kids sharing it, etc.

My parents tried the same thing when I was 14--Net Nanny. It was easy to get around. Anyway, who gives a shit if your son is jerking off to porn or not? News flash: 99 pct of men in their teens do it. I'd rather have my 14 or 16 or 18 year old son depositing sperm on the carpet than sperm in a woman.

Porn is now being seen as a public health issue. Traumatic images cannot be erased from their brains and can form very unhealthy ideas about sex.

Absolute insanity.

Hey eye-roller, are you under the impression that all porn is like Playboy or Cinemax? A kid can google "porn" and see violent rape porn.

Because that's our relationship. We talk about things, like choices people make, and when she can make big choices about her life. She remembers when she went through the phase of using the poles on the buses and trains as if they were stripper poles, and we joke about that. So we talked about WHY someone goes into that career and where their thinking might be.

In what context did your 12-year-old learn about stripper poles?

Or are you saying that she used to swing around the poles on the buses and Metro, and you told her, "Don't do that, that's what strippers do?"

It's true that porn is totally unrealistic, but it will take exactly one sexual encounter for your kid to figure out that a woman having sex with four men isn't expected in a relationship.

for those u who don't know, this is og mudbone: http://www.xvideos.com/video2592023/og_mudbone_compilation

My son actually came to me after the first time he watched porn. He said he was watching an OG mudbone video and was really concerned because his penis was so much smaller and he doesn't ejaculate as much. He wanted me to look at his erect penis to make sure it wasn't so small. Well, I said no, but explained to him that porn is often exxagerated and fake and OG is the very fake.

Sorry, knee jerk reaction. Just to prove my point that this classification of internet porn as a "public health issue" is complete trash.

To the PP: why do you think only boys are doing it? I'm in my late 20s, female, and have grown up with it all too. I masturbated at least daily since I was 12, sometimes (but not all the time) while watching porn. I enjoy it as much as the next girl/woman. And no, I don't believe ALL of it is created whereby the woman (or man) are somehow coerced to do so. A lot of the women on this forum masturbate a lot, have masturbated for many years, and do enjoy porn. It's too bad so many feel to subjugated by society to admit it.
