Imagine actually being scared for your safety because your mom saw you watching porn. As long as I wasn’t like 10 years old, my parents would’ve probably just laughed at me and told me to keep it to myself.
It’s pretty sad that some people actually live like that, though.
My mom found porn on my computer in high school so my parents decided it would be a good idea to sit the whole family down and talk about what she found and what new restrictions the Internet would have for us all.
Turns out that restrictions on porn for high schoolers don’t work and just make them more… creative. That was my first taste of learning about IT haha so maybe I should actually thank them.
My Mother told me it is okay and totally normal to be interested in things like this but it is important that I understand the difference between fiction like this and reality.
Now I sit at work googling character ideas for dnd so it is safe to say this did not work out
Props to her for handling it the right way though.
So something that always bothered me: do we legally have to put restrictions on their access? Like I clearly can’t claim ignorance to knowing how its possible, and since my son is a minor, it’s illegal to provide access to the content.
I would rather put up layers that he figures out how to work around since that’s how I learned so much too.
That’s actually an interesting question. As far as I can tell, while it is illegal to show minors porn, I don’t think parents are on the hook of their children access it. Common sense would argue that a parent can install all the filters they can, but kids are crafty and nothing will stop a teenage boy from taking care of business, though I’m sure some religious state reps/senators would say otherwise. But, to your point, I don’t believe parents incur liability from their kids looking up boobs online, especially without their knowledge. Now if a sicko parent is actively showing kids naughty videos, that definitely is a crime.

The thing I’d be more concerned with is establishing unreal expectations around sex based on overproduced porn. Like, it’s not a normal expectation to fold someone into a pretzel and jackhammer their ass for 30 minutes.
That’s just a normal Tuesday.
That’s the difference between normal vanilla procreation and kinky fetishes, an important distinction
