I love to hear what you think, especially so I know I'm not just whistling into the wind here at my computer.

It's reassuring to know that he's learning what he needs to know at school, eh? :-) *Sigh* My son hasn't hit puberty yet -- he thinks breasts are "disgusting" and he's embarrassed that he ever nursed. :-/
ReplyDeleteSeriously though, if it's just nudity, I wouldn't worry too much.
Ack! And "they" say boys are easier.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I'll ever be ready for it. I don't want to think about the time when they finally graduate from Club Penguin! Scary!
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't until my son moved on to college that we figured out what he was doing late nights on the computer....He is now 30... but they all do it....plus they grow up way too fast....
ReplyDeleteWe just recently went through the same thing! It is tough! Our search was "naked people". I almost fell over! Good luck, I know it doesn't help, but it IS just a phase.... a very looonnnggg one. :(
ReplyDeleteI used to work the abuse desk for an Internet Service Provider. The sheer number of calls I've had to make to people explaining why their service was disconnected followed by the shouts of, "No ... Mom ... it wasn't me ... MOM!" Heh. Yes, ma'am, I'm sorry, but your little sweetie boy hacked Australia last night and they're peeved. I think porn is probably preferable to some of the stuff we used to have to act on. *grins*
ReplyDeleteThis was a funny post. And so TRUE! I have a 16-year-old son and we went through the same thing. Later on they figure out how to delete the search history.
ReplyDeleteCan't say I found this post funny! Computer porn is extremely addictive if you've ever read anything about the brain's response to this kind of visual stimulation (no pun intended). It only takes a few instances to get "hooked" (with neurologic and chemical changes in the brain) and the longer it is pursued, the more graphic the stimuli must be for the same rush. It is worth while for every parent - father and mother - to research this. We've had some great programs come to speak to our parents at school which included police IT investigators on child porn, neuropsychologists etc. It is VERY EASY to block such sights. iBoss is one external way, but there are programs too such as "Covenant Eyes" to track and provide an accountability partner (parent in this case).

ReplyDeleteOh my hilarious God!! I know this is so hard on the parents, but your post made me let out a chuckle. I think this is one of those things that every child would go through. I've thought and thought how this process can be made healthier, but it's really a fine line, don't you think?
