TBPH I don't think its appropriate. And its not so much a matter of whether he sees it or not, its moreso that he knows you don't think its appropriate. Hard to explain but I do think there is a difference. I've just checked out the online website and its very tacky. I'm just not sure if he's emotionally old enough (he's your son you know him better ) to look at these magazines and not assume that all women are sexual objects. To be quite frank if my son was wanting magazines to masturbate over (although I'm not sure that is what your son wants them for) I'd rather leave out a victoria's secret catalogue at least its somewhat tasteful LOL!
BUT I can't really comment because my son is 14 months LOL not 14 yrs... But I got my hubby's opinion and he thinks its too young and he said he used to read them from 15-16 but even then his parents never bought them for him. He said he read playboy and it was definitely more "tasteful" than the others.
Hi Cailin
yeah, i know what you mean about me buying it for him - its like its then got my seal of approval. i do sort of think he's too young, i just wasn't sure if i was being a prude/naive or not. He seems alot more interested in cars than girls, but again i'm not sure if he just doesn't confide in me about what he's thinking about girls, or if he's just not into them yet? i also wondered if he wanted Zoo, just because his friends buy it, or if he was really curious about girls?
i would have thought playboy was more explicit?
thanks for your advice.
