Question

What would you do if you found your 15 year old son/daughter watching p**n?

Answer 1

I would turn it off, laugh and say, "you are not old enough." take the dvd and walk out of the room.

Sets my rules for the house.

Answer 2

Leave the room and never bring it up.

No I kid, but leave the room, and attempt to talk to him later. Recommend that he lock his door next time, and make sure he doesn't leave any pornography within reach of (if any) younger siblings.

He's fifteen years old, and he has sexual feelings. There is no reason to confiscate or monitor his computer/tv time. He's simply releasing normal sexual urges. He's got the internet, it's bound to happen. There isn't anything wrong with that. p**n becoming an addiction is highly unlikely, just make sure he is aware of differences between p**n and real s*x, and he knows about protection ectcetera.

If you don't feel comfortable talking to him about this, try emailing him. But really, p**n is no big deal, and restricting his computer time (or getting rid of it altogether) isn't going to make him stop, it's just going to make him sneaky. He can have older friends buy if for him, order it online (with a prepaid credit card), there are all sorts of ways. You can't watch him all the time.

Really folks, it's just a fifteen year old with p**n. Let it go.

Answer 3

absolutely nothing.... but if you haven't had the "talk" yet, you probably should (just not right after you found him)  

Answer 4

I would have a talk with him/her and let them know that it's normal to have those curiosities, but that those sites are inappropriate and don't portray s*x in a healthy way. I would also put blocks on the net and limit computer time.  

Answer 5

As a Mom, I would talk to him about it and how it degrades woman.

If he was watching it on the computer, I would tell him I was going to start monitoring the computer and his use of it until I could trust him to only access approved websites. He is only 15 and it could become a problem or an addiction.  If I  caught him drinking, smoking, doing drugs or watching inappropriate videos, I would have to stand up as a parent and tell him that it is bad for him and teach him to not allow these things into his life.

Answer 7

i would close my eyes turn around walk out the room and pretend i had never seen anything

let them get on with it , theres nothing wrong with it as long as its not kiddie or somthing gross like that.

Answer 8

Leave the room and leave them to their own devices as long as they weren't charging it to my credit card or anything, then I'd have a problem with it...but only the me paying for it part.

Realistically, the p**n industry is bigger than all of our national (in America) sports put together so someone has to be watching it and at that age 15/16 it wouldn't surprise me at all.
