What are you going to teach your kids about pornography?

I woul think that too PZ. I imagine if he confessed to her that he watched porn and that was the result. It may be the last thing he ever shares.

Politically I am very anti porn, but my rational kind accepts it is ok for many many people.

I have already said I don't want our kids to think porn in any way represents an appropriate treatment of women, so we seem to have a double standard between the boys and girls, because dh thinks boys will just look anyway :/

Dh has expressed a desire to discuss porn with our sons so they don't stumble across some sick stuff. He wants to show them where to look and how to handle it I suppose. I find this tricky because I agree that some guidance would be protective of a young man, and would prevent some of the damage done by curiosity and teenage persistence to find out extreme stuff. I also think girls might need the same guidance, but I very much doubt my daughters will go looking for porn...but who knows?

Thanks for the discussion!
